Sightseeing
Mt. Ainos is the highest mountain not only of Kefalonia but also of all islands located in the Ionian Sea at 1,628 meters tall! Among many wildlife species, Mount Ainos is the natural habitat of foxes, birds, ferrets and wild horses. You will also see small lilac flowers and one of the rarest types of fir trees in Europe, which only grows in Kefalonia, Abies Cephalonica. The trunks of these fir trees are particularly dark in color and so dense that Ainos was given the name Black Mountain (Monte Nero). Mt. Ainos’ highest peak, Megas Soros, used to be an ancient sanctuary dedicated to Zeus Aeneas.
There are multiple hiking trails available here giving you unforgettable views of Kefalonia and you may stumble across some ancient ruins along the way!
