After Fiscardo, Zubenel motor sailed around the northern tip of Kefalonia, down the long western edge and around into the capitol of the island, Agnostoli, on the SE corner. It was a long 40 miles. The sail was wonderful; Agnostoli, less so. It is a large sprawling town. The architecture is bland since every building dates from the devastating earthquake of 1953. Shopping is good. It is said to be the most Italianate of the Greek cities so we all had pizza. The pizza was very good, but just pizza. Pictured is Alexander, our 13 year old mate from France and very good guy, with Agnostoli in the background. Also pictured is an iconic structure for the town. It is an aid to navigation in the shape of a temple and built by Charles Napier in the 18th century. It also had to be rebuilt after one of earthquakes. At the top of the picture please note wind turbines that crown the peaks of Kefalonia. These are very disconcerting considering the scenery, but that is progress I guess. Being Greece. about a quarter of the wind mills did not turn.
