Odyssea occupies a privileged cliff-top position on the south coast of Kefalonia. Its warm, burnt orange walls and terracotta-tiled rooves hint at hacienda-style architecture, its manicured Mediterranean gardens and shady terraces invite repose, and its impressive infinity pool sparkles temptingly above the intense blues of the Ionian Sea.

The Area
Odyssea sits on the high cliffs of Kefalonia's south coast, close to a great many beaches, including the one at Ai Helis, which is a 10-to-15-minute walk away. Also within easy walking distance are a selection of tavernas.
Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands but still easy to discover in a week (even the northernmost tip, with the lovely harbour village of Fiskardo, is only 80 minutes' drive). This is great news, as there's so much to discover, not least in terms of beaches, of which there are great many.
The buzzing island capital, Argostoli is an easy drive away from Odyssea and it's definitely worth spending some time there, not least for its pleasant pedestrianised streets flanked by tavernas, cafés and shops, but also for its market and its museums, one dedicated to archaeology, the other to folklore.
Of historical note is the Venetian Castle of St George, which offers insights into the island's past, while keen walkers will enjoy exploring Mount Ainos, which rises to over 1,600m. Needless to say, the views are unforgettable and well worth the trek.
Just 4km east of Kefalonia is the island of Ithaca and it's easy to spend a day there, thanks to the frequent crossings from the port of Sami.
