Kefalonia Holidays

Karavomilos is a peaceful fishing village on the east coast of Kefalonia. It wraps around the west side of Sami Bay, and is separated from the waves by a beach. There’s no sand – instead, you’ll find smooth white pebbles warmed by the Mediterranean sun, and shaded by a curtain of eucalyptus trees.

• Ionian Emerald Resort

This stylish town on Kefalonia's northern tip is known as the St Tropez of Greece – and with good reason, too. Demi Moore and Jon Bon Jovi have been spotted here, while Roman Abramovich parks his yacht in the harbour. It’s Fiskardo’s beauty and history that attracts the A-list – it mostly escaped the 1953 earthquake, and the candy-coloured Venetian buildings draped in bougainvillea make a great backdrop for a glitzy marina.

• Hotel Emelisse

Bazukata keeps a low profile on the Greek island of Kefalonia. This tiny hamlet is perched on a cypress-clad hillside up in the north, with views across to the neighbouring island of Ithaca. This pindrop-peaceful place isn’t full of shops, bars and restaurants, but you'll find them in heaps at the nearby town of Fiskardo.

• Villa Pelagos

Assos is a pindrop-peaceful village on the west coast of Kefalonia. It’s nestled into a horseshoe-shaped bay filled with azure waters. There are a handful of waterside tavernas down by the harbour, which come with views of the pebbly beach. The village is backed by rolling hills carpeted with cypress and pine trees. And there's a huge 16th-century fortress on top of one of them.
