Kefalonia
Kefalonia is the largest island in western Greece. There are two major settlements on the island, Argostolia and Lixouri, with a number of other smaller settlements. There are numerous mountains and ports on the island. There are theories that Kefalonia may have been the home of Odysseus as described by Homer.
Delphi
In Greek mythology, Delphi was the home of the Delphic oracle. It was also a major site for the worship of Apollo after he slew the Python. The Temple of Apollo is one of the most recognizable ruins at Delphi (and is shown in multiple photos below). Delphi was also the site of the Pythian Games, one of the precursors of the Modern Olympics.
