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.
