Destination		Ionian Islands: kefallonia island (or cefalonia): Mousata
Ionian Islands Kefallonia Mousata		Moussata or Mousata (Greek: Μουσσάτα) is a village located 14 km ESE of Argostoli and about 26 km W of Poros in the municipality of Livathos which includes Ikossimia on the island of Kefalonia. Moussata is linked with the road linking Poros and Argostoli. The Aenos mountain lies to the northeast. Farmlands including dry grasslands and pastures and olive groves lie to the south and around Moussata where the slopes are not at the 45° angle, further north are made up of grasslands and some rocks. A stream are founded to the west. The panorama includes the northern part of the island of Zante, the main part of Leivathos including villages and farmlands to the west and the mountains to the west. Most of the population is rural and the main economy is based on agriculture. The income was very poor. Residential homes and buildings are entirely situated along the Poros - Argostoli Road. The urban area stretches for some 400 to 600 m. Much of the population from the mid-20th century left for larger towns and mainly cities. The 1953 Ionian Earthquake destroyed every building in Moussata that took months to rebuilt. The entire population that time as well as other parts of the island were homeless and part of the population left Moussata. The following years, Moussata became linked with the paved roads. A power line lies uphill from Moussata. A mining area lies to the east and is situated to its gas station once known as AVIN. The mining area goes between the top of the hill and the main road and mined mainly for limestone. An epitaph commemorating lost victims including soldiers during the wars from 1940 to 1945 and to 1949 is located near the communal centre.
