While it hadn't been on our bucket list (yes, we have a list), an international yoga retreat in the heel of Italy provided a great opportunity to visit and explore some more parts of Europe we hadn't been - Greece was it.

Mention Greece and many will immediately think of the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. Though, like other parts of Europe and elsewhere these days, they suffer from over-tourism - and besides, running with the crowds isn't quite our thing. After some research, we settled our primary visit on Kefalonia - the largest island in the Ionian Sea.
