Neighbourhood information

Just 300 m from the sea in Agia Efimia, the villa offers tranquillity with easy access to all village amenities. Villa Kandia is set in a peaceful area of this traditional fishing village on Kefalonia’s north-eastern coast, surrounded by mountains that form the scenic Pylaros valley. Centred around its charming harbour and quayside, Agia Efimia is an ideal base for exploring the island. The village offers many family-run seaside tavernas, cafés, and restaurants where you can enjoy local dishes. Amenities include a post office, pharmacy, ATM, hair salon, boat and bike rentals, daily cruises, and a diving center. Shopping is well covered, from grocery stores, bakeries, and a butcher’s delicatessen to tourist shops, jewellery stores, and gift boutiques. Relax on one of the four beautiful white-pebble beaches with turquoise waters, or watch flotillas and pleasure boats moor in the lively harbour. Explore the old village ruins, discover the Roman mosaic, or join one of the many day trips available. The villa is ideally located for sightseeing: only 8 km from the world-famous Myrtos Beach and Lake Melissani, 12 km from Antisamos Beach and Drogarati Cave, and just 8 km from the village and port of Sami, which connects with Italy.
