Experiencing Luxury: Kefalonia’s Best Hotels

I have dreamed for months to my Greece holiday and choosing the best luxury hotels Kefalonia Greece has was the cherry from the top.

I chose to spend my holiday in Kefalonia, one of Greece’s hidden gems from the Ionian Sea because I read many interesting things about this place.

I was fascinated by its exciting history dating back thousands of years, its breathtaking sceneries with secluded beaches and turquoise waters, not to mention the caves hidden deep in the ground.

Melissani Cave is the most popular one and it can be accessed only by boat and I strongly advise you to include it into your itinerary.

And there is also the delicious food for which Greece is famous all over the world and I must say I enjoy it a lot.
