Holiday Villa in Kefalonia

Kefalonia is one of the most beautiful islands situated on the west coast of mainland Greece tucked between the Ionian islands of Corfu and Zakynthos.  Waters are azure blue, and emerald green, with lush vegetation and forests  rising up from the large rugged mountains down to small fishing harbours below.  The island is made up of a unique indented coastline which provides plenty of secluded coves in the north and south.  The historical neighbouring island of Ithaca is just a ferry ride away. Kefalonia is a nature lovers paradise with National parks and a conservation area for the loggerhead turtles that lay their eggs on some of the protected beaches and coves nearby on the island.

Activities on the island are very relaxed, food is excellent and there are also wineries to explore.  Car hire is essential if you want to experience this incredible island with so many breath taking places and hidden gems to visit some of which are off the beaten track and totally unspoilt.  For shopping and day to day essentials most of your provisions can be bought locally along with pharmacies and cashpoints in the local towns and villages.  Argostoli which is the capitol of the Island is well worth a visit to experience a more cosmopolitan atmosphere which is a forty minute car journey away.  Here you will find many coffee shops, tavernas, and even a small outdoor cinema can be found along with the fishing boats and the Caretta turtles often be seen strolling along the waterfront.  Fresh fish and fruit and vegeables are for sale in abundance.  Medical services and a hospital are available in the capital.
