We used to have a section on GGi called Site Seeing, I think. When I saw this site, I thought it worth sharing and maybe, prompt other members to suggest some of their favourites.

We have been watching it over Christmas on the very few days it has been clear. It is very bright now that it is complete. Over the years we have taken note when going on holiday the times it could be seen at our holiday destination. Some of the best viewings have been above Ketalios on the big pull in .One of our favourite was on a farm in the hills of Tuscany. At home it is still very visible sometimes for up to three minutes and appears to come straight down our drive LOL. Out in the countryside without the light pollution it is brilliant. When it first went up we used to watch with the Grandchildren then come inside and watch it on the computer in real time so that they could see what the astronauts were doing as it went over. Great place Kefalonia to see the stars .Hubby once saw a shooting star explode ,something he has never forgotten. One of our FREE Keffie experiences.!!
