The Greek Islands

Location Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands , north of Zakynthos and South of Corfu. The Ionians have a lovely climate which encourages green fields and wildlife.

Kefalonia has its own airport and is serviced by most U.k airports and most days of the week.

Kefalonia Villas are on the western side of the Island in a province known as `Paliki`. Lixouri is the district capital and is a lovely small town with tavernas lining the pretty quayside.

Kefalonia Villas are five minutes north by car , 700mtrs from the water overlooking the beautiful bay of Argostoli.
