TRAVEL AND LIFESTYLE DIARIES

For our Greek Island summer holiday last year, Dutchman and I stayed at Lygies Apartments in the village of Moussata in Kefalonia Island (also called Cephallonia). We prefer to stay at local establishments to help support local entrepreneurs and the local tourism industry instead of giving our hard-earned money to the already rich corporations and multinationals.
