Kefalonia

The largest of the Ionian Islands, Kefalonia
stands grand and caters to all preferences.
It is a popular holiday spot with emerald
green mountains, sandy coves, dazzling
beaches and dry rugged landscapes.
One of Kefalonia's best features is its
beaches, which are among the most
gorgeous in the Mediterranean. Some are
only accessible on foot or via narrow
roads, but no matter where you go
swimming, you will not disappoint. The
island's coastline features limestone cliffs,
bays and stunning stretches of white
sand.

The island's capital, Argostoli, is perched
on a hillside overlooking the harbour, this
is where most of the bars and restaurants
are located. Other attractions on
Kefalonia for you to explore include the
picturesque villages such as Fiscardo, the
only village that wasn't destroyed in the
1953 earthquake; the gorgeous Melissani
cave; medieval castles; the Mycenaean
gravesite in Tzanata and the monasteries.

Kefalonia villas are characterized as
tranquil and relaxed. They offer many
comforts for families, groups or couples
who want luxury, independence and
fabulous views. Days can be spent
exploring the beauty of the island.
