A grove of olive trees on Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea. It's a beautiful island full of rural beaches, vineyards and olive groves.

Olive oil is this island's main export with over a million olive trees covering the island. The island used to have over 200 operating oil presses until the devastating earthquake of 1953 dropped the number to around 13.

In August 1953 the area had an astounding 113 recorded earthquakes. The largest measured 7.2 and caused the island to rise by 60 cm. It leveled whole villages and many were killed. A large portion of the survivors left Kefalonia for Athens, UK, America and Australia. The region around the Ionian Islands is the most earthquake prone region spanning from Western Europe to China.

"Soggiorno molto bello! Casa molto bella!"

"Spent 6 nights at Anne’s fabulous house - it’s is very comfortable and spacious. Anne was incredibly helpful at all times and gave some wonderful suggestions of things to do and restaurants! Could not recommend this house more - we had a wonderful holiday. "

"A wonderful property in a really great location and the property hosts were fantastic and helpful with local recommendations. They really helped make our family holiday one to remember."

"Wir waren Ende August 3 Wochen in der Villa Avithos Blue. Die freistehende neu erbaute 2-Zimmer Villa liegt ohne unmittelbare Nachbarschaft ruhig mitten in der Urbanisation mit herrlichem Blick auf den schönen Pool und das Meer und bietet absolute Privatsphäre. Die Villa ist aufgrund gut angebrachter Hinweisschilder problemlos zu finden. Das letzte Stück der Zufahrt (ca 800 Meter) erfolgt über einen Schotterweg, der jedoch ohne Probleme mit einem PKW befahren werden kann. Die Ausstattung im Haus...

"We had a great time at this villa, it was so clean, the bedding and towels smelt lovely! Lovely views and pretty cool seeing the planes take off! Lassi is only 5/10 mins in a taxi, plenty of bars and restaurants there. Argostoli not much further away. Taxis were very easy, just whatsapped the drivers to arrange, €15 seemed to be the standard fare which we were fine with. Great coffee machine in the villa, tvs were smart so we could watch Netflix, air con was a delight! Alex who let us in was a...

"Excellent stay in a very well equipped, cosy and nicely decorated house with a breathtaking view. The kind host family are available and discrete at the same time."

"Das Haus ist wunderschön und wirklich mit allen Annehmlichkeiten ausgestattet die man sich vorstellen kann. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, 1A! Mit Kindern einfach nur der Traum. Die Aussicht ist das Highlight und wir haben jede Minute genossen. "

"We had a wonderful stay! Our group was 9 people - 2 families - with 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 5/8/9/10/13). Property was great size and layout for our group, and could have fit 2 more people comfortably. Everything looked like the pictures and description, very accurate, and actually was even better in person. Rachel was a wonderful host, showed up in person to greet us and even came back the following day to give us highlights of the island and recommendations. Super responsive for any...

"Having just spent a week at the villa, I cannot give the property and owner enough praise. This was a trip for my 40th Birthday and it was perfect. Labros arrived with a cake on my birthday and delivered us home made pastry’s which were his mothers recipe. The villa is amazing, spacious, beautiful and with everything you could need. The outdoor grill area and pool are particularly good for entertaining. The local area has amazing beaches, and a good selection of quality restaurants. Labros...

"Superbe maison parfaitement aménagée et au calme au sud de Céphalonie. Nous avons passé un agréable moment dans ce lieu, l’hôte est très sympathique et donne des conseils pour les différentes visites à faire. Petite plage à moins de 10min (avec douche!) ou l’on peut prendre un petit bain dès le matin pour lancer la journée. Je recommande les yeux fermés!"

"Very hospitable, great host. Very clean. The owner was very sweet and generous, brought us figs from her tree, eggs, toast… very sweet. No english however, made it a bit of a challenge, but we managed because they cared. Never saw the pool, but we were only there for 1 night in transition, so our timing issue really. Overall, very nice stay. "

"we found that all our needs were met — excellent wifi washer dishwasher full kitchen — nothing was lacking — peaceful — no noise no traffic — extremely clean — proprietors hospitable — highly recommended"
