Description Blue Velvet Sea: Kefallonia

Savour the beautiful sea views from this home’s private, heated pool and jacuzzi. Rustle up some souvlaki in the outdoor kitchen and enjoy it with a Greek salad and a bottle of wine under the vine-covered pergola. Inside this modern villa, you’ll find homely interiors and a marble staircase leading to the bedrooms, two of which have balconies with more of those gorgeous Ionian Sea vistas. We love the panoramic seascape from here.

This home is located near the island’s capital, Argostoli, where you’ll find Plateia Valianou, a pretty square filled with restaurants, cafes and bars. History lovers can head to the Archaeological Museum of Kefalonia, which houses treasures from the Mycenaean, Hellenistic and the Roman period. The iconic Lighthouse of Saint Theodore is situated a couple of kilometres away from Argostoli and is also well worth visiting.
