🏞️Natural Wonders

Mount Ainos

The summit is located 29 km from Trithea Villa, about a 50-minute drive away. It’s the highest peak on the island, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Kefalonia and the surrounding islands. The mountain is blanketed in dense forests and is home to semi-wild ponies.

Melissani Cave

Melissani Cave is 27.4 km from Trithea Villa, about a 43-minute drive. This unique underground lake is illuminated by sunlight streaming through a collapsed roof, casting magical blue hues across the water. We recommend visiting early in the morning, before the crowds from cruise ships arrive. You can also combine your visit with a trip to the nearby Drogarati Cave and a relaxing stop at Antisamos Beach.

🏘️ Charming Villages & Iconic Landmarks of Kefalonia

Palia Vlachata – A Village Frozen in Time

Just 20 km from Trithea Villa (around a 35-minute drive), Palia Vlachata is an abandoned village with a haunting charm. Stone ruins, narrow alleys, and fig trees growing through old doorways give you a real sense of Kefalonia’s past. It’s quiet, atmospheric, and perfect for a short walk with a camera in hand. If you're nearby, it’s worth a peaceful detour—especially at golden hour.

Assos – Postcard-Perfect Beauty

About 45 km from Trithea Villa (roughly a 1-hour drive), Assos is one of the most picturesque spots on the island. A charming village nestled between two bays, with pastel houses, bougainvillea-lined paths, and a Venetian castle overlooking the sea. It’s perfect for a peaceful stroll, a swim in the sheltered bay, and a quiet lunch by the waterfront. We recommend going early or later in the afternoon to avoid the peak crowds and enjoy the calm.

Fiskardo – Elegant & Timeless

Fiskardo lies about 60 km from Trithea Villa, around a 1.5-hour scenic drive through the island’s lush interior. It’s one of the few villages untouched by the 1953 earthquake and still carries its traditional Venetian charm. With luxury yachts, colorful harborfront houses, and stylish cafés, Fiskardo has a cosmopolitan feel—yet still feels authentically Kefalonian. Great for people-watching, boutique browsing, or a leisurely seafood dinner by the sea.

Argostoli – The Island’s Beating Heart

Just 14.5 km from Trithea Villa (about a 20-minute drive), Argostoli is the capital of Kefalonia and a perfect blend of local life and relaxed charm. We loved walking along the harbor promenade, especially in the morning, when you might spot sea turtles near the fishing boats. The De Bosset Bridge, the longest stone bridge over the sea in the world, is ideal for a peaceful stroll with beautiful views across the bay. Don’t miss the vibrant main square, where locals and visitors gather for coffee, dinner, and evening walks. It’s the kind of place where you’ll always find something happening.
