Assos with beautiful bay. Kefalonia , Ionian islands.

When most people picture Greece, they see the blue domes of Santorini, the club‑lit shores of Mykonos or the sweeping mass of Crete. But let me tell you a secret: the soul‑stirring magic of the Aegean and Ionian Seas often hides on much smaller specks of land that barely make it onto glossy brochures.
