Breathtaking Landscape Best Beach Destinations in Kefalonia

Kefalonia is the largest of the Greek Islands and is in the Ionian Sea, west of mainland Greece where you will discover sandy coves and hilly landscapes.

The capital is Argostoli, which is built on a hillside overlooking a lovely harbour. Its coastline is truly breathtaking with limestone cliffs, bays, and strips of white sand, like its sister beach, Myrtos Beach in the north.

Speaking of beaches when you rent a villa in Kefalonia on the beach there are many smaller beaches to explore on foot or by taking a car. But don’t forget about Trapezaki Beach, one of the most lovely of all the Greek Islands and not to be missed.

Book Now for 2026

Now is the time to book your much-needed villa holiday for 2026; not only to ‘bag the best deal’ across our huge range of stunning villas, but also to take advantage of availability to match your preferred dates!

There is always fun to be had when making exciting plans, and especially in the colder and darker winter months, it can be uplifting to have a summer holiday, bright sunshine and the sparkling sea to look forward to.

We are starting to see this reflected in our bookings for 2026 – record numbers have already snapped up their chosen ‘slice of heaven’ to escape to next year, the allure of stunning and sun-soaked islands in the Mediterranean, such as Kefalonia, Crete, Mallorca and Sicily is undeniable, and these ever-popular Freelance destinations are therefore leading the way amongst new and repeat customers wishing to escape their shores for a while.

Villa Karissa with pool and sun terrace and shaded outdoor lounge and dining areas. A first floor terrace with pergola and glass panels around.

NEW FOR 2026

Villa Karissa, the perfect location to relax around the large pool and terrace to seek sun or shade.  On the far hilltop, the twinkling lights of Douliana after sunset lights the sky a deep blue.

Villa Karissa’s comfy beds and boho-chic decor and fittings offer a chilled-out feel, leaving behind the busy day to day routine. 

The highlight of the villa is the extremely large pool, with 16 air jets aimed to massage the back and legs, and a large terrace where a plush lounge set & comfortable pillow loungers, and of course sunbeds and umbrellas, offer plenty of options for stretching out and snoozing.

Villa Karissa sits on a quiet back lane just below the tiny hamlet of Agios Pavlos, a mere 900m from the small village of Gavalohori with its choice of traditional tavernas & minimarkets.

Top Seaside Sites in Kefalonia

While spending time in a Kefalonia beach villa you’ll want to take few hours off here and there to visit some of the island’s top spots such as Melissani Cave, Mount Ainos National Park, and Monastery of Agios Gerasimos.

Kefalonia is also one of the greenest of the Greek islands, and at its highest peak, you can see the fir of Kefalonia, a beautiful tree like no other.

There are also rugged mountains, where trees abound along with areas covered with mountain flowers during the spring months.

We suggest you take a drive through the mountains and stop by the many villages where you’ll see goats, olive trees, and stop by café/bars for authentic Greek cuisine before heading back to your beach villa in Kefalonia for some rest. IN general, Kefalonia has a mild Mediterranean climate with rainy winters and dry, hot summers.

There’s no doubt, Kefalonia, Greece is truly a wondrous island rich with natural beauty and all kinds of history to explore and find adventure when staying at a beach villa or one of our Kefalonia Luxury Villas.

With so many things to do, see, eat, and unearth in Kefalonia, Greece, you’ll be amazed and ask why you never made the trip to Kefalonia years ago.

La piscine est superbe avec une très belle vue et des sièges très confortables pour faire la sieste.Tout était très propre. La cuisine est grande et extrêmement bien équipée, il y a tout ce à quoi vous pouvez penser. On a eu un petit panier à notre arrivée avec quelques boissons et nourriture c’était très appréciable.Chaque chambre a sa propre salle de bain ce qui est très pratique.La Clim/chauffage est vraiment super simple d’utilisation et très pratique ! (Il a fait frais toute la semaine nous étions content d’avoir le chauffage ahah).Il y a tout l’équipement nécessaire si vous venez avec un bébé (chaise haute, lit parapluie, cache coin et sécurité pour les portes !)L’hôte est très réactif si vous avez besoin de quoique ce soit ils répondent très vite.Nous avons passé un super séjour et il n’y a vraiment aucun point négatif sur ce logement !

We had a lovely time in the villa! Check-in was straightforward, the villa was very clean and we loved the view from the outdoor seating and pool area. The location was great; in close proximity to the village of Spartia, and yet still quiet and private. We also tried one of the local tavernas which we found in the Freelance Villas handbook, which was great, too!

Such a stunning position with breathtaking views all around! Beautiful spot for relaxing and enjoying the outdoor space. We were there in the heat of August so it was too hot to walk to the closest village for tavernas and mini mart, but in cooler temperatures that would be possible.A car is needed to get around but there are countless beautiful beaches and spots to visit within short distances.The communication and attention to any issues arising was faultless.Thank you for a wonderful place to stay and enjoy Kefalonia.

This villa is highly recommended if you want a premium experience. A beautiful place, private location with incredible views. A car is an absolute necessity as the location is pretty remote. But the drive is so worth it. The whole place enables you to feel relaxed in a place that shouts 5 STAR! We have been lucky enough to stay in some beautiful places across Spain, France, Portugal and other parts of Europe, and we can say this Villa is right up there with the very best. We will definitely return in the near future, it really was that good! Communication from the management company was excellent before, during and after our visit. A very nice welcome pack was very much appreciated on arrival, (which is all to scarce these days). Be mindful that WiFi is not fantastic, so don’t expect to be able to stream movies or download films. But that is a very minor issue when on holiday in this truly beautiful place. The easiest 5 stars we’ve ever given.

Fantastic villa in a beautiful little village ☺ The villa was absolutely perfect. We were a group of friends and all had large equal rooms. The villa was incredibly clean and the hosts came to speak to us and gave fantastic recommendations. We had a mid week clean when more complimentary cake was left. Would highly recommend this to anyone. As it says in the description, the road is incredibly narrow and a car bigger than a Clio wouldn't fit. We parked at the bottom of the road by the shops and walked up which wasn't a problem. The village and surrounding area is absolutely stunning!

Die Unterkunft haben wir in einem sehr guten und sehr sauberen Zustand vorgefunden. Sie ist klasse aufgeteilt und estens ausgestattet und punktet zusätzlich durch den hervorragenden Außenbereich mit tollem Ausblick über die Bucht. Tavernen und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen, ein Auto empfiehlt sich jedoch trotzdem. Wir können die Unterkunft ohne Abstriche weiterempfehlen!!!

To describe the house as amazing doesn´t feel enough. Such a wonderful view, the pool is great, no close neighbors and the house is nicely renovated. 5 minutes to the sea with car and walking distance to good local restaurants and a mini market. Clean and nice inside. We are a family with two kids and it was plenty of space. Great host, easy to commuicate with and really service minded.

I was simply amazed by Diane, Sylvia and the team in Crete They saved our holiday not once, but twice. Unannounced construction works started right next to the villa we booked, which they quickly resolved by moving us to another villa, all very smoothly. And then we couldn’t blame anyone but ourselves for forgetting to take two things from the house (one of which our passports, which we discovered on the morning of departure!) and without any judgment and with total patience and understanding, they arranged that we could pick those up twice (in case of the passports, at 7.00 in the morning!). In general, they were very responsive whatever the question, whether important or trivial. Information before arrival is perfect; they ensure you have all the info about the accommodation and surroundings you need in a comprehensive guide/app. How they manage their service is just so smart and they are a very service-minded team of people themselves, and I’m entirely grateful to them - and will always book via Freelance Villas on any next trip to Crete!

The location & views are breathtaking. The Villa is clean and there is lots of room both inside and out. We didn’t meet the owner or the agent, but everything ran smoothly and communication was easy and responses were quick. The nearby beaches are spectacular and anyone who enjoys sea swimming is in for a treat. Highly recommended.
