Located in the small village of Karavomylos, next to the lake with the watermill, just in front of a small pebble beach (30m from the apartment) and within 10min walk there is another organized beach. The apartment has excellent sea view to the bay of Sami and Ithaka and the only thing someone can hear is the sound of the crystal clear waters of the Ionian Sea in the tranquil beach with huge Eucalyptus trees just in front of the apartment. No car is necessary as they are set in walking distance from the popular bay of Sami unless you want to explore the whole island. Perfect for families & couples enjoying nature & seeking tranquility and relaxation in a friendly environment. The site is ideally located for a stay in Kefalonia, since it is at the center of the island. The place is surrounded by small taverns, restaurants, small shops, church and a bakery shop. Karavomylos is about 1.5 km away from the bustling port of Sami with regular ferries connecting to the Greek mainland, Ithaka and Italy. In Sami, one can also find a pharmacy, bank, a small hospital, etc. Karavomylos has traditional taverns (the one in 50m distance). Within walking distance is a bakery near the apartment. Melissani the cave lake is only 500 meters away and Drogarati cave with stalactites & stalagmites is 3.5 km. Next to the apartment are located tennis courts, and a basketball and football court.

Kefalonia is the largest and most beautiful island of the Ionian. It is deeply influenced by the people that passed through like the Venetians, French and British. It offers various activities such as extreme water sports, guided tours, day cruises to the rest of the Ionian islands, fishing, snorkeling, horse riding, wine tasting, private boat and yacht rentals, mountain hiking and biking. It has a distinct tradition, cuisine and architecture and lots of hidden secrets. Vast olive groves, mount escapes, iridescent waters, picturesque alleyways and traditional arcades. It surprises you with the scenic beaches, the roman ruins, the stunning caves, the Byzantine churches, the Homeric sites and the Venetian fortresses. Kefalonia is spread with amazingly good tavernas (maybe the best food you have ever eaten in vacation). You can also discover walking trails with running waters inside the mountains, bird watching areas and vineyards with excellent wines. But most importantly Kefalonia will give you a taste of what greek philoxenia (hospitality) is after all. The Capital of Kefalonia is Argostoli at 27km. The famous Myrtos beach is just 20km from the house, the airport 37km and Agia Efimia 6km and Fiskardo seaside village 35km.

Owner's reply:
Thank you for your review. After 7 years of operation this is the third negative review we receive so I suppose that this says a lot. I write this response in order to clarify things. The residences around the apartment are not 50+. They are much less and only 25 of them are being rented at the moment. Sami is approximately 2 Km away (for most adults and children this is walking distance) and yes it is full with tavern‘s and café’s. Next to the apartment at the moment are actually two because two more tavern’s that were next door and open last year, are now closed. The garden is not in a bad condition as you mentioned. We redecorated the garden in spring and the grass between the stones has not grown yet. But the plants are in excellent condition and I really do not understand why you say all these things. I attach a recent photo just to show the validity of your claims.
