Three peaceful weeks with family and friends...

Review Submitted: September 5, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We spent a really nice holiday in Villa Helios the last 3 weeks of August 2009 (this was our 12th summer holiday in Kefalonia!).
Villa Helios is fully equipped, situated in a very beautiful location, so close to many nice beaches: you can easily reach Avithos, Ammes, Ai-Helis, Minies beaches, Ag. Thomas, the little Spartia and Pessada beaches...
Dining in Kefalonia: in Argostoli port, PortSide (in front of Port Authority at the end of the seaside promenade): try the fantastic grilled octopus!
If you don't care driving a bit, there's a lovely fish tavern in Ag. Kiriaki: you can only eat their fishing of the day!
On the little beach of Ag. Thomas (end of the road on left) there is a terrace on the sea: the owner is Alexandros, You must try the best stuffed tomatoes (Ghemistà) and the best fried cod-fish served with smashed garlic potatoes (bakalado-skordalià) of the entire island.
We hope to be back very soon: Villa Helios, we already miss you!

Summer 2009

Review Submitted: August 15, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We stayed in Villa Helios in June 09 and found the upstairs apartment exceptionally clean and well stocked and furnished.

The pool was very well maintained, and was refreshing after a hard day at the beach!

The location is really exceptional; close to the airport, but not noisy, close enough to Argostoli to eat in if you want a change, but with 2 tavernas in walking distance just by the beach. It is an excellent base to explore the island from.

The owners were both attentive and informative and had ordered 2 full weeks of sunshine with not a drop of rain..thank you Joanne we will ask for the same weather next time as well please!

This is a really excellent villa and we will be back again to sit on the upstairs balcony with a glass of wine, watching the sun set and wondering if we should try for 3 weeks next time!

Review Submitted: May 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
After staying at Villa Helios in the summer of '08 I was pleasantly surprised with position and aspect of the property, it was lovely in the quiet village of Kaligata.
The apartment had everything to hand, from DVD and CD's to a chiller bag for the beach.
One of our favourite places to eat was The Captains Table at Argostoli. Cant wait until we return!
