The Ionian Islands region

The archpeligo of 11 islands , large and small, strung out along the west coast of mainland Greece are known as the Ionian Islands. The 6 large ones are Zante, Ithaca, Corfu, Lefkada, Paxoi and the largest is Kefalonia and the small ones are Anti Paxoi ,Ereikousa, Mathraki, Othonoi, Meganisi and the Strofades. The history of these islands goes back millenia known from the lines of Homer's Odyssey.
These islands , with their wonderful natural environment, abundant water, fascinating towns and villages, mild climate, superb beaches, crystal clear seas and archaeological sites are like jewels in the Ionian sea.

The Kefalonia area

Kefalonia is an island that is off the beaten path and enthusiastically loved by most that visit. It is the largest of the Ionian Islands and features many interesting archaeological sites, as well as geological phenomena and offers more than just stunning beaches and picturesque villages. The southern part of the island, called Livathos is home to the capital city, the airport and many of the most fantastic beaches and cultural sights. Villa Jasmine has an ideal location. Being only ten minutes by car from either the capital city of Argostoli or the island airport (EFL) makes it a very covenient location . The village of Lakithra sits on the top of a hill which gives the villa absolutely amazing views from its elevated position and balconies. Lakithra itself is home to some great restaurants, a really good bakery and a few shops.
Local activities diving, swimming, tennis, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing, horse riding, wind-surfing, water skiing, paragliding. Ten pin bowling is also available in the nearby village of Travilata.

“What a gem!!” We loved just about everything about Villa Jasmine. The location is very peaceful with beautiful views across to Argostoli Bay and the mountains. Very easy to get around the Island by car with no shortage of beautiful places to visit . It was difficult for us to leave the villa as the pool and garden were perfect for lounging around and chilling out. A few nice tavernas within walking distance. All in all, a great place to holiday. We look forward to returning in the not too distant future

“A wonderful Villa on a fantastic island...magical.” Villa Jasmine is a fantastic base to come back to after a day of exploring a fanscinating island. Location-wise it is perfect if you want a quiet (but plenty of authentic Greek restaurants/bars walkable) area within touching distance of the larger more touristy areas like Lassi and Argostoli. You do need a car if you stay here but it's highly advisable to hire a car full stop as there's gems to see all across the island. The villa has air-con throughout, we had food ready for us on arrival, great views over the seas and lovely small pool to cool off in. The people who both own and service the apartment can't do enough for you and it makes you feel very at home instantly. Only smal thing i would add would be WiFi as other similiar apartments seemed to have it available but not really a massive deal. Things to see in Kefalonia that you MUST see are: - Melissiani Cave - Assos (top spot - get a view of Mirtos on the way!) - Fiskardo - VIews from Mount Ainos (1,630m). We had a 1lt Kia Picanto and made it so anyone can!! Response: Internet access is something we have been considering and hope to be able to provide at a nominal cost from 2012 for anyone bringing their own laptop. However there is internet access available in the village for anyone who does not bring their own computer and there are also wi fi hotspots in the local area.

Guestbook for Villa Jasmine

What a lovely place to spend our honeymoon. Kefalonia is beautiful, the villa served us well. Excellent, we have spent lazy days by the pool with everything to hand, but also days out. Avithos is great and only 10 minutes away. The villa feels like it is only 10 to 15 minutes away from everything, very well situated.
Levers June 2010 from Bolton

2 wonderful weeks. Have been to the island 10 times but really impressed with this side of the island.
Pool great, relaxed during the day, nice and quiet. Walked up to the village most nights.
Andersons June/July from Warwickshire

We have been to Kefalonia several times, but this is our first time in a villa. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The villa was first class in every respect, very clean and had all the touches that made it home from home.

Kefalonia is a beautiful island, plenty to see and do. Villa and facilities first class ,look forward to returning. Monica Romagnoli,London July 09

We were looking for somewhere to relax,unwind and enjoy island life - we found it in Villa Jasmine,Lakithra. It was everything we could have asked for in holiday accommodation and more. The house was spotless, furnished beautifully and kitted out with every modern appliance that we needed. The bedrooms are spacious with wonderful views. A holiday not to be forgotten and to be repeated in the future. Pete Turner July 09

Thank you for the loan of such a fantastic villa. We lazed by the pool all day and tried all the local restaurants at night as well as the marvellous patisserie. Linda Bulliman August 09

Congratulations on putting such a high standard package together.The villa notes in the house helped a lot too.We absolutely loved kefalonia - perfect week for us. The Hazrati family London May 2008

We had a lovely time here. Beautiful villa to match the beautiful view. Janet & Cathy, Bolton le Sands, June 08

Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Villa Jasmine. It was everything that we hoped for and more. There has been much thought even down to the games for a rainy day - should there be one. The fittings and furnishings are first rate especially the kitchen which is set up for "Ready, Steady, Cook"! Not that we stopped in during the evening; there are too many taverna/restaurants within easy reach. It was particularly pleasant to come back at night and have coffee on the upstairs balcony looking out towards the lights of Argostoli and the starry sky above. Magical. Joan and John Makinson" Morcambe,June 2008

We had A LOVELY holiday, the villa was beautifully clean and tidy, and a welcome pack waiting was very useful, a great base, to explore the island from, very comfortable. We had 2 earthquakes during our stay, SCARY!! The Spice family Hampshire July 08

Fabulous villa, very well equipped and homely. Couldn't have chosen any better. This is a place I would certainly recommend. Chris and Tony Jenkinson, Derby, Sept 08

Beautiful villa in tranquil surroundings made for a thoroughly relaxing holiday. David & Julie, Hook, E. Yorkshire. Sept 08

Lovely villa, very comfortable and set in lovely surroundings. Great to receive the welcome pack which included more than expected. Particularly loved it when sheep herded into field opposite. Their bells made us wonder if we were in Austria. We envy your choice of village and great views. Kate Smith, Leeds, Sept 08

What a beautiful villa, everything we could have wished for. We have been to Kefalonia 8 times and always stayed in self catering apartments - this has been a piece of luxury, decor is stunning. Hope to be back one day. Thank you for a memorable holiday. Dave & Freda Parr, Portsmouth. October 08
