      The island of Kefalonia (Cephalonia) has been described as magical,   
      with air thick with the odor of oleander and the sound of goat bells.   
      While the description is certainly romantic, the fact remains that the   
      Ionian Islands and Western Greece sing an enticing song for modern   
      travelers, who are drawn to the region for sunshine, beautiful beaches,   
      history, architecture, and even meadows, Mediterranean oak forests, and   
      wildlife.   
      
      On March 19, 2023, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer   
      (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of   
      four of the Ionian Islands and Western Greece.   
      
      The islands captured in this image are, from north to south, Lefkada,   
      the small Ithaki, Kefalonia, and Zakynthos. Most of the Ionian Islands   
      were formed due to natural processes, but Lefkada was originally a part   
      of the mainland of Western Greece. When the Lefkas Canal was   
      constructed more than 2,500 years ago, to aid water travel, it   
      separated Lefkada from Greece, creating a new island.
