Holidays in Greece

Kefalonia

Kefalonia MapKefalonia is the largest and most mountainous of the Ionian islands, and despite its popularity, still remains an unspoilt destination.

We feature Lassi in the south of Kefalonia, boasting some of the finest sandy beaches in the Greek Islands, and with a wide choice of local restaurants, it is an ideal family destination. Our properties Poseidon and Anthula are peacefully located on the edge of the sea and within a five minute walk to the resort facilties.

Trapezaki, with a magnificent, mountainous backdrop and valleys of cypress and olive trees, is a stunning location. Here we have four independent villas called Russa, each with their own private swimming pool and peacefully situated on the hillside between Trapezaki and Lourdas beaches.

The peninsular of Vrahinari, near the old capital of Lixouri, is a mostly unexplored area of Kefalonia, yet possessing the most breathtaking scenery and deserted beaches on the island. For those seeking a holiday off the beaten track, Remetzo Villas offer the perfect escape.

Assos on the North West coast is a charming Greek village, and for those who wish nothing more from a holiday than excellent swimming and long lazy days in the sun, this resort is idyllic. Whether you are seeking a luxury villa at Braunis Horio or a seafront property in Sofia cottage or Apollonia studios, Assos will give you the opportunity to experience a true Greek atmosphere.

A further twenty minutes drive north takes you to the picture postcard village of Fiskardo. Its colourful harbour is the central point of this picturesque resort, with a variety of tavernas on the sea front, it is a magical spot in which to enjoy warm summer evenings and watch the world go by. Properties with swimming pools are rare in Fiskardo, but Martinis and Kaminakia offer this facility, both are under ten minutes walk from the harbour and offer magnificent sea views.

Many other sites in Kefalonia will tempt you to leave the beach for a day including natural phenomena such as the wonderful stalactic underground cave of Drogarati or the crystal clear blue waters of the subterranean Melissani lake. For those who would like to venture even further afield there are regular car ferries connecting Kefalonia with the neighbouring islands of Ithaca, Lefkas, and Zakynthos.

Nightlife on Kefalonia is relaxed and laid back usually spent in that favourite taverna or bar sampling local Kefalonian wines, renowned as some of the best available in Greece. Argostoli, Kefalonia's capital, provides a pleasant diversion particularly at night when the tavernas and cafes in the town square become the social venue for both the locals and the tourists alike. Kefalonia, unspoilt by the ravages of mass tourism is a fascinating destination with appeal for both beach lovers and the more dedicated Greek traveller
