On the first floor, a balcony offers a great spot for sunsets and sundowners! Fiscardo (5km) is a pretty village with a deep water harbour making it popular with yachts and local fishing boats alike. Lively, colourful and laid back, evenings spent here are a delight – sit back and enjoy. Closer to home, Maganos village has a sleepy laid back vibe, with two tavernas, a little bar, a mini market and a traditional Grocery, catering for the essential holiday needs! Alaties beach (3km) is a pretty, quiet bay with one taverna and plenty of trees for natural shade, hidden away amongst orchards, fields and olive groves that tumble down to meet the sea. Near to the capital Argostoli, St George's castle is a marvellous medieval ruin set at the foothills of Mount Ainos and is open to visitors so why not take a break from the beach and enjoy some cooling summer breezes whilst embracing the unique history of Kefalonia. Scattered around the island, several wineries welcome visitors to see the production process and sample some of the delicious local wines (crisp, refreshing Robola being one of the most well known).
