Solar Tug-o-War

The sunset over Argostoli, Kefalonia

On opposite sides of the bay, each town does its best to perpetuate the legendary rivalry. And if Argostoli seems to have a tangible advantage—being the capital, and all—Lixouri has the absolute last word each and every day of the year.

The sun certainly does drench the capital with golden light as it goes down, but it is over Lixouri that it lingers and shows off before calling it a day.

That is the "western advantage."
