Kefalonia
We stayed in a stunning villa near the airport with views of Kefalonia as well as the airport( the noise of the aircrafts didn't bother us at all), I would even go so far as to say, we actually were fortunate to watch the aircrafts flying overhead on arrival and take off, from the swimming pool area.
Thankfully we rented a car which meant we got to explore the island, one of my favourites visiting the Melissani Cave, (a must see)!
Working in the industry we do get opportunities to visit hotels , and I am over the moon that I got to visit https://trapezakibayhotel.com/ , I spoke with the owners Nikos and Sofia before arrival, and they invited me and my family along to the hotel. This has to be one of the most stunning hotels I have visited, every room was designed uniquely , the views out to sea were incredible, and you can even see Zante from the balconies and terrace. Not to mention the hospitality, the food was delicious and the best I tasted on the island. They even gave us honey to take away with us, again a lovely gift to take away.
We got to visit the majority of the island , unfortunately we didn't get as far as the North to see Fiskardo which is known for its stunning natural beauty, clear waters, and charming Venetian architecture. I did however get to see where scenes were shot for Captain Corelli's Mandolin in the village of Sami, a beautiful coastal town.
The only regret was we didn't book for 2 weeks, as a week just wasn't long enough to see the whole island, which means I will have to visit again..!
So if Kefalonia is on your list of places to travel, then I can certainly help with your holiday booking, providing, places to stay, eat and visit.
