Kerameies (Greek: Κεραμειές) is a community located in the southwest part of the island of Kefalonia. It is the seat of the municipality of Leivathos. In the village exists the head of the municipality and the largest school in the area, from kindergarten to high school. The village is divided (localy by the residents) to the upper village (ανωχώρι) where the great shipowner family Lykiardopoulos (Λυκιαρδπουλος) lived and the downvillage (κατοχώρι) where another great shipowner family lived Vallianos (Βαλλιάνος). Vallianos family is considered as a great benefactor for Greece due to donations that have made for the country and particularly for the money that gave to build National Library Of Greece in Athens(1888 - 1903) from the three brothers (Andreas, Panagis and Marinos). It is rumoured that this money where given in order to be forgiven by the queen for the clandestine import of gold from Rusia to Greece.
