Overview
Villa Mandras is a charming family-friendly two-bedroom villa on the Ionian island of Kefalonia. Ideally located, it overlooks a picturesque bay and the harbour village of Fiskardo, where there’s plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. Surrounded by beautiful, landscaped gardens, which are dotted with flowers and trees, the villa is both tranquil and private.
The villa is set on two floors and is classically Mediterranean in style with cream and whitewashed walls, terracotta-tile roofs and classic wooden shutters. You’ll find two spacious bedrooms on the lower level, both with king-size beds and elegant marble-clad en-suite bathrooms. Rooms are modern and contemporary with natural-coloured furnishings and light and welcoming spaces.
On the upper level, there’s a comfortable living room with a sofa and chairs, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and coffee and tea making facilities, plus an eating area and a guest WC with laundry facilities. The living room leads onto a balcony where there’s seating and a table for dining al fresco while enjoying the fantastic views of the village and coastline below.
On the lower level terrace, at the back of the property, there’s a terrace and your private swimming pool. Take a cooling dip or relax on one of the several loungers or chairs, in the sun or the shade. For a stress-free home from home stay, there’s also housekeeping and linen services available. Plus, a daily continental breakfast and car hire service, should you choose it.
If you’d like to explore the local area, there are also four bicycles for use during your stay at Villa Mandras. For family-friendly day trips, you can head into Fiskardo village where there’s a beach near the harbour, pretty pastel buildings and waterside restaurants for you to discover. Look out for local tavernas serving Kefalonia's famous meat pies and fresh seafood.
Please note:- The villa is one of three identical villas and photos may not be of the actual villa you stay in, therefore views may slightly differ.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MandrasVilla Mandras is located near Fiskardo, a harbour village on Kefalonia's northern tip. The area is popular for its candy-coloured Venetian buildings, quaint fishing harbour and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect holiday destination for families, friends and couples alike.
Kefalonia is an island in the Ionian Sea and is marked by sandy coves and rugged landscapes. The cosmopolitan capital Argostoli is an hour from Fiskardo and is built on a hillside and overlooks a harbour. There you can wander along the waterfront and watch the fishermen bring in their catch or look over to the Victorian Drapano Bridge. There are a couple of museums you can visit, plus a library filled with rare books and manuscripts. For lunch or dinner, there’s a central square, lined with cafés, bars and restaurants. International and local cuisine is served.
Kefalonia's indented coastline is made up of bays, limestone cliffs and white sandy strips, like Myrtos Beach in the north. The nearest beach from the villa is Foki Beach, a pebble bay surrounded by a tall forest. The waters are calm, sheltered and clear, making them perfect for swimming and snorkelling. There are also beautiful underground lakes and caves around the island for you to discover.
Kefalonia is a short distance from Ithaca, another Greek island in the Ionian Sea. To get there, there’s a ferry that departs from Fiscardo as well as a daily one from the port of Sami in Kefalonia. You can also hop on a boat to see the nearby islands of Meganisi, Scorpio and Lefkas, and stop off at more remote beaches for swimming.

How to reach Kefalonia island
There are two ways to get to Kefalonia island: either by flight or by ferry.
By plane: During the busy months, the airport of Kefalonia (EFL) receives a great number of domestic but also charter flights. The airport is located 7 km outside Argostoli, the capital of the island.
By ferry: Kefalonia has three ports: Sami (SMI), Argostoli (ARM), and Poros (PKE). If you want to arrive in Sami you should depart from Patra (GRA). In case you want to arrive to Poros or Argostoli you can depart from Killini (KIL). The trips last from 1.5 to 3 hours.
