About the home

Fig Cottage (formerly Les Kai) is a restored 17th century stone cottage - originally the stables to the neighbouring farmhouse Lime House (formerly Romer). It is a unique and interesting little gem, with metre thick walls to keep you cool in the summer, and with a south west facing sun deck with views across olive groves to the Sea. The pretty swimming pool is set below both cottages and not overlooked by either. The gardens are full of terraces and bourgainvillaea clad stone walls.

This part of Kefalonia is still largely undiscovered by tourists, and more like neighbouring Ithaka than the south of the island. There are several excellent beaches within a ten minute drive of the cottage and a thirty minute walk to the nearest beach. A five minute walk to the village, which has two excellent tavernas, minimarket and church. Five minutes' drive will bring you to Fiscardo, where you can sit at one of the many quayside tavernas, sipping a drink and celebrity spotting as the yachts come and go.

Further details outdoors:
Outside there are sun loungers and a terraced roof for shade. There are many terraces in the gardens which are filled with a variety of colourful flowers, fruit trees and bourgainvilleas.
The swimming pool is set below the cottages on a private terrace, which is not overlooked by either cottage.
It is shared between Lime House and Fig Cottage, but most guests come to this spot for peace and quiet, so the arrangement works well and you will often have the pool to yourself.

The Kefalonia / Fiscardo area

Places to visit in Kefalonia:

ASSOS
A very picturesque port just 25 minutes drive away from Lime House and Fig Cottage - so go for a day trip to see it, and take a walk up to the castle on the island above it .... if you are feeling fit!

The famous and much photographed MYRTOS BEACH is also nearby - listed as one of the top ten beaches in the world.

MELISSANI LAKE
A semi-underground lake you can take a little boat ride on - the best time to go is at midday, when the sun makes fabulous patterns on the walls of the cave.

DROGERATI CAVE
Stalactites abound ... and Maria Callas gave a concert down here in the natural acoustic chamber...
....see the following link for the full story of the caves and lake...
http://www.kefaloniatravel.com/kefalonia_cephalonia_underground_lakes_caves.html

ST GEORGES CASTLE
The old capital of Kefalonia - now quite a spectacular ruin with great views... A nice alternative day out, away from the beaches - take a picnic and explore the old ramparts

THE MONASTERY OF ST GERASIMOS
The little church next to the large cathedral is built over the cave that St Gerasimos lived in - you can go down into it - pretty amazing ... especially if you are brave enough to crawl through to his 'bedroom'! Look out for the ostriches they keep there too.

Take a day trip to ITHACA or LEFKAS.

Guestbook for Fig Cottage

Chris and I have always loved Greece. The delicious food and the friendliness of the people, so we knew we would not be disappointed in visiting Kefalonia. What we were unprepared for was the truly unique feel of Les Kai. It was the holiday both of us had dreamed of; a short walk to the beach and local tavernas. We indulged in our favourite pastime on holiday, 'doing nothing,' and for once this was completely uninterrupted.

Can't thank you enough for recommending this beautiful place - it was as you described and we will be back.

Love Molly & Chris

Hello,

Just like to confirm that we received the returned deposit cheque - thanks for that.

We had a great time at the cottage - it was everything that we hoped it
would be - the quiet was deafening, particularly first thing in the morning,
not that we saw many!

The weather was the best it could be, and coming back to the pool was
fantastic. It was an ideal location to de-stress, only one problem - the week
went too quickly! We would love to return in the near future.

Donna and Roy
