Ksouras

Top choice in Kefallonia


Very pleasant rooms in a pick 'n' mix range of colours are on offer inside this bright-blue villa immediately above the owners’ beachfront taverna. It's a sublimely tranquil spot in the evenings, once the crowds have gone and sunset is in full swing. The taverna is open for all meals, and serves uniformly excellent and inexpensive Greek classics.
