Our Greek beach clubs and villas are located on the Lixouri peninsula on the west of Kefalonia and on the beautiful island of Evia. Embrace laid-back life in the nearby charming local towns. Drop in for a frappe and watch the world go by from one of the many cafes on the bustling town square. The beaches are beautiful and plentiful, scattered along the dramatic coastline, and often less touristy than some other well-known areas of the islands. Cool, low-key beach bars and traditional village tavernas serve local dishes with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Dazzling blue seas and soft sandy beaches. Greece offers a wealth of incredible outdoor experiences, making it a sought-after destination for more adventurous travellers. The large sandy beaches and lack of other water users make it incredibly safe to get on the water and learn something new. In addition to all the inclusive activities at our beach clubs, scuba diving, sea kayaking and water-skiing are all available on the islands, and can be organised for you by our team locally.
People have been loving Greece and the islands for ages, and it's easy to see why. There are pristine sandy beaches, ancient ruins from Byzantine and Roman times, friendly local taverns, and a strong tradition of hospitality. Plus, this is where the Mediterranean Diet was born, so you can bet the Greek food is seriously tasty. Picture fresh seafood, seasonal veggies, all cooked up with a good dose of Greek olive oil.
The scenery is something else, with endless clean beaches, clear waters, rugged mountains, green valleys and forests. There's loads to do, especially if you're into water sports and adventure. And the weather is great all year round. While Greece is famous for its perfect summers, it's a good call any time, especially in the quieter months of April to June or September to October when prices and weather are both excellent.
Archaeological finds in different areas of Kefalonia give evidence that the islands were inhabited since 10,000 BC. Like much of Greece, Kefalonia has had a turbulent history. It is firmly embedded in Greek mythology, with many scholars arguing that Kefalonia was the true home of the famed hero Odysseus. The island was also occupied by the Byzantines, Turks, Venetians, British and the Ottomans before it became a Greek state in 1864. During World War II, Kefalonia was occupied by the Axis powers, primarily Italy. If you have not read it, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin is a beautiful wartime story set on the island.
