Quality cruise line selects Kefalonia capital as a port of call
It has been confirmed that Crystal Cruises will be running cruises through the Mediterranean this year with a stop off planned in the Greek island of Kefalonia adding to the Kefalonia holidays popularity boost.
It is planned that the ship the Crystal Serenity will run the Mediterranean cruise route with stops scheduled in the stunning capital of Kefalonia named Argostoli. The ship will then continue to other ports on the cruise route including Fethiye, Turkey; Komodo Island, Indonesia; Koper, Slovenia; and Marigot Bay, St Martin.
Russ Beech speaking for Kefalonia.co.uk said “we are very proud to have such a quality cruise line visiting our shores this year, Kefalonia and the Greek tourist market has been hit by the credit crunch however this is a great sign that things are beginning to bounce back.”
The island of Kefalonia has recently seen a surge in popularity with prices of holidays having fallen as tour operators look to sell more holidays to cash strapped tourists. Kefalonia being the largest of the Ionian islands has seen the largest tourist growth in 2010.

Small fire hits Kefalonia – Kefalonia holidays are not affected
It has been reported that today a small forest fire has broken out in the Minies region of Kefalonia which is in the hills near the capital city of Argastoli.
The fire apparently broke out at around 14.20 and was attended by fire crews with around 10 firefighters and three special fire vehicles as they attemted to quell the flames. it is not believed that any tourists are at threat and the fire is now under control.
Most years small fires break out in Greece as the weather is spectacular and the wonderful sunshine heat means that the area is prone to fire risks however it is very rare that the fires spread and holidaymakers are threatened and we do not suspect that this fire is any different as the fire crews seem to have it under control.
Kefalonia holidays are popular all year round however the summer months are when you will find the most vistors flocking to to island. For more information on holidays on the island of Kefalonia and the other Ionian islands vist the Kefalonia.co.uk website.
