I am always excited when I see old photographs...a nolstagic mood with no reason, but also curiosity for the past and the history left to us.
I found this photo album of Kefalonia in the 19th and 20th century in https://m.kefaloniatoday.com/kefalonitika/afieromata/ikosi-spanies-fotografies-tis-kefalonias-mas-109628.html and though to share it with you. The images, in the order they appear in the article show:
- the harbour in Argostoli,
- the residence of Lord Byron in Metaxata,
- the flatlands of Minies before the construction of the airport,
- Platis Gialos beach in Lassi, - Markato in 1900's (the market) in Lixouri,
- Soldiers of the Edelweiss Devision before entering Argostoli in September 22,1943,
