Kefalonia: What's in a Name?

Kefalonia Island
Try to google "Kefalonia" and you'll come across all the spelling variations of the island's name. The reasons are complex and linked to the island's history, linguistics, etc. The most popular and widely used variation, in English, is KEFALONIA. 

However, the substance is not in the name; while the argument for the definitive name carries on, the seasons change, and  so do the colors, the moods, the scents, the skies and the sea. 

None should be missed for the sake of getting the "label" correct.
Because—
❝ that which we call a rose,
by any other name
would smell as sweet

 (Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare)
