Assos Kefalonia

We hired a car for a few days to explore the island. First night we drove to Assos, a tiny fishing village on the east coast of Kefalonia.

Little Suzuki jeep - lots of wheel shudder when you touch the brakes - reported it to the car hire and they said : 'That's normal they all do that!' :O)

Earthquake damage - all the towns with the exception of Fiskardo were flattened or wrecked in the 1953 earthquake. They had another one in 1983. Must be terrifying. A lot of the islanders left after that earthquake.
