Ionia's Secret

  • 4 guests

  • 2 bedrooms

  • 1 bathroom

Perched up high in the thicketed mountains, overlooking the Ionian Sea, you’ll have the true sense of having gotten away from the daily grind here. We love that rustic, under-done look - it’s an authentic nod to traditional island life, with all the trappings of modern-day comfort thrown in. Wander down to Assos for a taste of local taverna life, while water sports are a good shout. Gloriously simple, this home is all about outdoor living. From the pretty courtyard, those mesmerising views to enjoy the changing moods of the day, the wood-fired oven and poolside lounging, you’d be forgiven for not venturing too far from home here.

About Kefalonia

Kefalonia was something of an undiscovered secret until 2001 when Penelope Cruz and Nicholas Cage shot the blockbuster movie Captain Corelli’s Mandolin here. The icing sugar sands of Myrtos Beach, rugged mountain backdrop of Mount Énos, and sparkling blue waters shot this Ionian island into the limelight, and quite rightly, too.
