• A Taste of Kefalonia’s Roots 🥧

💛 In the heart of Palia Vlachata, Miss Vicky—a woman whose hands carry the wisdom of generations—welcomes us into her kitchen.

👩‍🍼 Born here, she grew up surrounded by the aromas and traditions of this village. After the devastating earthquake of 1953, she moved to the town of Sami, but her connection to the old ways never faded.

🌸 Today, she prepares Kreatopita, a hearty meat pie that speaks of Kefalonia’s soul. This dish isn’t just a recipe; it’s a story of resilience, migration, and love for the land. Take a look as Miss Vicky folds her history into every layer, sharing not just food, but a piece of her life.

✨ Sometimes, the most delicious things remind us where we come from.

🍇 Gentilini Vineyard & Winery, located on the picturesque island of Kefalonia, Greece, is a family-run winery with a rich history and commitment to producing high-quality wines. The vineyard was founded by Spiros Kosmetatos, who named it after his noble Italian ancestry. Today, it is managed by his son-in-law, Petros, and his daughter, Marianna, who continue the tradition of crafting unique wines that highlight the region’s indigenous grape varieties.

🍷 Gentilini focuses on sustainable practices, growing local varieties like Robola, Mavrodaphne, and Assyrtiko. Their winemaking approach emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes and the unique Kefalonian terroir to shine. Their Robola wines are particularly well-known for their fresh, citrusy flavors and crisp minerality.

🌟 A visit to Gentilini is an immersive experience, beginning with a guided tour of the vineyard, where you’ll learn about the different grape varieties and the winery’s history. The tasting includes a lot of wines, starting with their signature Robola, along with local snacks such as artisanal cheeses, olives, and bread. The relaxed atmosphere and personalized guidance from the staff ensure a memorable experience.

💫 What makes the tour special is the family’s personal touch that creates a welcoming and warm atmosphere and their commitment to eco-friendly farming and winemaking practices.

💎 Gentilini Vineyard offers an authentic and intimate wine tasting experience that captures the spirit of Kefalonia through its exceptional wines, beautiful surroundings, and deep-rooted family tradition.

• Early Christian Basilica- Basilica of Fiskardo 💎

✨ In Early Christian times, an impressive basilica apparently devoted to Saint Kerekas, was built on a plateau stretching on the highest peak of Fournias peninsula, at the site of Chtouria, north of today’s Fiscardo. This was a triple-naved basilica with a semi-circular external apse, a narthex and two towers on either side of the latter. The pedestal of a synthrone survives inside the sanctuary’s niche, while the stone pedestal of the holly trapeza/high altar has also survived. The two towers are two-floored and of almost square plan.

- The construction of an impressive temple at the city of Panormos was apparently a way to impose Christian religion on a flourishing city of the Roman world, which was a very common practice in those times. The basilica’s monumental form testifies to the city’s significance in early Christian times, as also attested in the contemporary Synecdemus by Hierocles.

- Today, the church stands as a testament to the resilience of Fiskardo, offering a glimpse into the village's historical significance and its connection to Venetian heritage.
