Peering across the azure waters of the Ionian Sea from Kefalonia’s southwest corner, the Electra Kefalonia Hotel & Spa is a conveniently located luxury hotel that promises moments of bliss beneath the sizzling Mediterranean sun. With an aesthetic that melds minimalist modernity with subtle Greek tradition, you can bask in glorious vistas of the Ionian Sea or the hotel’s lush gardens when staying in one of its generously appointed rooms and suites. Savour an epicurean dining experience at the Turquoise Restaurant & Bar, where creative Mediterranean dishes are prepared using locally sourced ingredients and where a selection of signature cocktails can be sipped on beside the pool. The pool itself is a highlight at this hotel, its cooling water fringed by sun loungers and its seafront position offering superb vistas across the sparkling Ionian waters.
