Union of the Ionian Islands
The nearby capital of Kefalonia, Argostoli, loves its festivals – and the Union of the Ionian Islands is the biggest of them all. Kefalonians have been flocking to the town to celebrate it since 1864, when the Ionian Islands were officially unified. The locals go all-out on the patriotism front, so you’ll spy flocks of fluttering flags and marching bands playing traditional tunes. Argostoli is just a 15-minute drive from Svoronata.
