The hotel occupies a peaceful hillside position on Kefalonia’s south-east coast, putting beaches, traditional villages and some of the island’s most memorable sights within easy reach. Take the complimentary shuttle to Skala, around three miles south, where a long sandy beach is backed by tavernas, cafes and shops, or five miles north to the traditional coastal village of Poros, where the scenic harbour is surrounded by green hills and steep cliffs. The island’s lively capital, Argostoli, is 25 miles west, where you can wander the pretty pedestrianised streets leading to Vallianou Square, brimming with restaurants, bars and shops. Head around 21 miles north to Sami to explore the underground beauty of Melissani Cave and the remarkable rock formations of Drogarati Cave. While in the area, take a dip in the crystal-clear turquoise waters at Antisamos Beach, framed by the surrounding pine forest. Kefalonia International Airport is 24 miles away.
