General: Nature is all you have

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

If you plan to visit Kefalonia, you might be interested to know that it combines relaxation and crazy nightlife. My friends had booked a room in a beautiful beach, Lourdas, close to the town and the airport. It was the ideal choice for us, calm and unspoilt. Along the beach, there were nice taverns although in early July tourists were few. The beaches are surely the attractions of Kefalonia. Let me just mention a couple of things that impressed us on our trips. First of all, I had a fantastic time in the small hotel...

General: My idea of holidays

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

I have been visiting Kefalonia with my family every summer, the last three years in a row, and I am a huge fan of this big beautiful mountainous island with its spectacular sceneries, charming villages and long stretches of sand and sea. On my first visit, we visited places recommended by tourist guides. Lassi and Skala turned out to be two very beautiful choices. Assos and Fiscardo in the nort...

Villages: Really quaint marina

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

We have been to Lixouri 5 times and am just about to leave for the sixth on September 03. The town is really quaint never a lot of tourists as it is the resort the Greeks go on holiday. There is a large 4star hotel in the resort but otherwise you can find a lot of inexpensive self catering or Bed and Breakfast accommodation. The town square is the main focal point for the village. During the da...

General: Recent car hire in kefalonia

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

I first received a call to say the car would be there on time, half an hour after the call i got another call from a man called Adam Costas to say he couldnt find us so i got the manager from where we was staying to speak to him. Whe...

Beaches: Small and friendly

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

Lourdas is a small village about twenty five minutes from the capital Argostoli. It boasts a long, sandy beach and beautiful clear, blue waters. My favourite taverna, Klimatis, is situated by the beach. The roof consists of a canopy of vines, the tables and chairs are in the Greek style and the staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a varied menu. Fish is plentiful along with the Greek o...

Beaches: Scenes from hollywood film shot there

It was about 3 years ago when with few friends we visited Antisamos. The village was beautiful, cool climate, and a very cute beach. We could sit for whole hours there, on that soft sand. We ate in a couple of restaurants with good food and good views to the sea. The quality was ok, though service was a bit slow. I have noticed that this is the case in Greece generally, waiters are not that pus...

Beaches: Nice and cheap fish taverns

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

Lourdas is one of the best beaches we visited in Kefalonia. The village is quite small. It is barely a village but a group of tourist accommodation. It has a number of studios, villas, and nice hotels. Although it was a bit crowded, as we expected in summer, yet it was spacious. We did not feel it was full. We got good meals and snacks from the restaurants on the beach. We felt the prices were ...

General: Drive carefully and enjoy

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

We stayed in Lassi, and contrary to some of the reports we read on the skyrocketing rates in Greece, we found the prices very reasonable. Luckily for us, we found a few bars that did happy hours. I would advise you to tread carefully in Fiskardo, a tad highly priced as compared to the rest of Kefalonia, thanks to the ...

General: Superb spots

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

I stayed in a villa in the village of Antipata on the North of Kefalonia. Last year, we had a sail/stay that started and finished in Fiskardo and we wanted to see more, so came back. The small tip of the island I really enjoy with Fiskardo at its heart. Fiskardo harbour is a superb spot with constant too and fro in the small harbour of fishing boats, sailing boats and the Ithaca/Lefkas ferry. F...

General: Kefalonia again

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

Myself and my husband Mick got back 2 weeks ago from our 3rd trip to Kefalonia. The weather was incredibly hot, (too hot for me sadly) so beach times were limited to early mornings and very, very late aftenoons/early evenings. Luckily, we don't like to spend all day lying down, and having a hire car we were as usual a...
