Excerpt: The island of Kefalonia, usually known in English as Cephalonia and also known as Cephallenia, Cephallonia, Kefallinia, or Kefallonia (Ancient Greek: ¿efä¿¿¿¿a; Modern Greek: ¿efä¿¿¿¿ or ¿efä¿¿¿¿¿; Italian: ), is the largest of the Ionian Islands in western Greece, with an area of 302 sq. miles. It is also a separate peripheral unit of the Ionian Islands Periphery, and the only municipality of the peripheral unit. The capital of Cephalonia is Argostoli. Argostoli and Lixouri from the mountainsThe size of the island is ca. 780 km (300 mi), and the present population density is 55 people per km (140/mi). The town of Argostoli has one-third of the island's inhabitants. Lixouri is the second major settlement, and the two towns together account for almost two-thirds of the prefecture's population. Cephalonia is in the heart of an earthquake zone, and dozens of minor or unrecorded tremors occur each year. In 1953, a massive earthquake almost destroyed all settlement on the island, leaving only Fiscardo in the north untouched. Among important natural features are the Melissani and the Drogarati caves. The island's highest mountain is Mount Ainos, with an elevation of 1628m; to the west-northwest are the Paliki mountains, where Lixouri is found, with other mountains including Gerania and Agia Dynati. The top of Mount Ainos is covered with Abies cephalonica trees and is a natural park. A poppy field.Forestry is rare on the island; however its timber output is one of the highest in the Ionian islands, although lower than that of Elia in the Peloponnese. Forest fires were common during the 1990s and the early 2000s and still pose a major threat to the population. The primary agricultural occupations are animal breeding and olive growing, with the remainder largely composed of grain and vegetables. Most vegetable production takes place on the plains, which cover less than 15% of the island, most of which is rugged and mountainous, suitable only for goats. Less than a quarter |
