Interesting article, not sure of the journalists ability to research!....The mention of a six hour flight via Athens will not lure many UK passengers! No mention of direct flights from major UK Cities!

But, confusingly, Ithaca and Kefalonia have swapped names during their historic past, so if you’re looking for the home of Odysseus, it’s actually Kefalonia you want.

Anyone know what "sick national parks" means?

A-ha, your apprentice has some use.
I thought maybe Hanah Berry George had got pissed on Plagues of Ainos, a mis-translation by a local taverna of local wine Πλαγιές του Αίνου (Plagies Tou Ainou - Slopes of Ainos).
Not sure it's the taverna's most popular wine but perhaps it'll be sought out by all the clubbers and ravers who'll, no doubt, flock to Kef now HNG has proved her youf cred.
Tourists who speak a more standard English might start to avoid Ainos like the, er, plague.
:dunno:

Best for wine - Kefalonia
There's wonderful wine to be quaffed in Crete and Santorini, but we're plumping for Kefalonia, whose Robola winery is responsible for the tipple of choice of drunken Father Arsenios in Louis de Bernières' classic novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

We all know the reason ... You see it in a brochure, and the island calls you. Ok, ok, I might have had my pain meds, but that's what it did for me back in 1986 and from then on, it's history.
