Kourkoumelata - Kefalonia

Kourkoumelata is one of the prettiest villages on the island, with many villas and gardens with beautiful flowers. The village also has a stadium and a Cultural Centre, which were built according to Swiss standards by the benefactor G. Vergotis.

On the way from Kourkoumelata to Argostoli you pass the village of Metaxata, where in 1823 the English poet Lord Byron took residence for few months. In his honor his bust was erected in front of his former house.
