Kefalonia is the largest island in the Ionian Island group and definitely one of the most beautiful. Like all the others in the group, it is very green and lush forests cover much of the island. As an island with an international airport, it is easy to get to and has lots of facilities for tourists. With lots of villages and towns up and down the island, it can be difficult to decide where to stay, this is where we come in. When you enquire with us, we can go through everything in more personal detail but here is a more general overview of the main places.  

Lassi

​Located on the western coast and backing onto the island’s capital Argostolion, Lassi has everything you could need, at your fingertips. With lots of choices of accommodation and a variety of restaurants, it can cater perfectly to what you’re looking for. There are also a number of beaches very close, the two nearest are Gradakia and Paliostafida beaches. Being near to Argostolion, you have easy access to plenty of things to see such as the Lighthouse of Saint Theodore and the Memorial of Acqui Division. Lassi’s excellent location also includes being only a 10 minute drive from the airport

Scala

​Sitting on the southern tip of the island, Scala also caters excellently for tourists with plenty of accommodation and lots of tavernas. It sits next to a lovely beach that is a mix of pebbles and sand. Skala is easily connected to Argostolion by the bus which makes it easy to get around if you don’t have a car. Sitting right next to the beach and the village is a Roman Villa. This popular historical site dates back to the 3rd century and has a lovely mosaic on the floor.
