WATER
Tap
water on Kefalonia is quite safe to drink but it may have
a different
taste to what you are familiar and you may prefer to buy
water that’s
been bottled at one of Greece’s many natural springs. This
is widely
available in the grocery shops at little expense. In
April, 2019, Greece won three 'gold' awards for its still
bottled water at the prestigious Gourmet
Waters International Contest in Paris.
On the islands
it’s not uncommon to see locals filling water containers
at springs,
e.g. at Vrisi (literally, ‘spring’) in the village square
at Tzanata,
near Poros. In the village of Hionata the old wash house,
on the road
to Katelios, has been preserved for prosperity. Although
Kefalonia is
well blessed with water the supplies can run low in summer
so please
don’t waste water.
