  Deliciously perfect!

  18 Sept 2026

  Absolutely wonderful place to stay and have as a base to explore Kefalonia.Super friendly and helpful and smiley staff who always say hello to their guests.Everywhere is immaculate. Very quiet environment (even though the place was fully booked) We booked breakfast each morning and it was outstanding: so much choice, from feta pastries, Greek yoghurt parfaits, pastries, salad, cheeses and meats, to fresh fruit and bread and cakes.Our room was spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the mountains.Beaches 15 mins walk away but there is a beautiful pool on-site.A totally perfect and relaxing place to stay!

  Holiday

  10 Sept 2026

  Just returned from Avithos Resort in Kefalonia. The hotel itself is lovely — clean, well-kept and set in beautiful surroundings — but there is a big downside that guests should be aware of. The nearest restaurant, bar or supermarket is at least a 25-minute walk away, which is far from ideal for families, anyone with mobility issues, or anyone who simply doesn’t want a long walk every time they need something.The hotel bar serves a very limited menu, and both food and drinks are expensive for what’s offered. The biggest disappointment was the hotel closing the entire pool and bar area for half a day due to a photo shoot. When I asked why guests weren’t informed, I was told there was a small sign at reception and that guests were expected to “understand the inconvenience.” For a resort of this standard, that level of communication and consideration is simply not good enough. Avithos Resort Team, ???p???t?s? pe?at??/?p?d??? at Avithos Resort, responded to this review Dear Guest ,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We respect that every guest may have a different experience, however, we feel it is important to clarify several points in your review that do not accurately reflect the facts.Regarding the temporary closure of the pool and bar area for the photo shoot, guests were informed in advance through notices clearly displayed at the hotel entrance, reception, pool area and breakfast area. We therefore made reasonable efforts to ensure that guests were aware of the arrangements. We regret any inconvenience caused, but it is not accurate to state that guests were not informed.We must also correct the information regarding the surrounding area. Restaurants, bars, the beach and a mini-market are all approximately 5–10 minutes’ walk from the hotel. The statement that the nearest restaurant, bar or supermarket is at least a 25-minute walk away is therefore incorrect and could give future guests a misleading impression of our location.We fully accept that you may have found some of our prices or menu options unsuitable for your personal preferences. These are matters of opinion, and we respect your right to express them. However, factual information should be presented accurately.Finally, we were disappointed by the way some of your concerns were communicated to our staff. Our team is always willing to listen to feedback and assist guests, but we expect our staff to be treated respectfully. On this occasion, we felt that your communication with our team was unnecessarily rude and aggressive.We value constructive feedback and continually strive to improve our guests’ experience. At the same time, we believe it is important to respond when a review contains information that is factually inaccurate. We hope this clarification provides a more accurate picture for future guests.

  Take me back!

  10 Sept 2026

  So impressed with our stay at Avithos.For the price you’re paying for Greece ( I would argue this is reasonable compared to others), and the quality of the hotel, this resort exceeds all expectations!The hotel staff were so lovely, in particular the bar and breakfast ladies! I’ve seen below someone comment on rude bar people - we didn’t experience this at all. I did however experience customers being rude to them which is maybe why they were a bit grumpy back. It felt very peaceful and simple, but done well. The pool area is immaculate, the pool always felt so clean, the grounds always kept tidy.Location- this was our first time in Kefalonia and decided to stay south as we had a young toddler. We had a car and I think you’d struggle without a car unless you just wanted to stay in the hotel and go to the close proximity restAurents. I found the area quite sleepy and slow but nothing wrong with that, I grew to love it! Must go to Avithos beach (5 min drive-20/30 min walk)- so relaxing and beautiful! Food- breakfast was delicious, and so was their bar snack menu.Very kid friendly but also lots of couples, so as long as you’re aware of that! They do advertise as a family hotel. Only minor negative if I had to be picky was the room. The bed me and my husband had was 2 singles pushed together which was slightly annoying as a gap would wedge open each night. Rooms always cleaned very nicely everyday though! Thank you for a lovely stay and holiday .

  Not impressed would not return or recommend

  30 Aug 2026

  I wouldn’t say this is more like a 3 star resort! The only person that was friendly was the blonde lady behind reception Christine!When we arrived late on Monday we had to lug our cases upstairs to our room the lady that checked us in couldn’t be bothered and said come back in the morning for a map!The room was small but more worrying full of damp patches room 201When I went to ask about keeping our room on or a late check out the lady (again dark hair) was on a call had me wait and didn’t even end the call to her friend but basically cut me short and said no! She was rude The bar staff don’t look very happy and you bearly get a look let alone a thank you I wouldn’t recommend this resort nor would I return You really need to sort out your receptionist and the marks in the room! Avithos Resort Team, ???p???t?s? pe?at??/?p?d??? at Avithos Resort, responded to this review Dear Chunter ,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.We are sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations. Regarding the patches in room 201, we would like to clarify that these are moisture-related areas caused by the particularly high humidity during this period, and are not marks or a cleanliness issue.We are also sorry that you did not mention this to our reception team during your stay, as we would have been happy to assist you and look into the matter immediately. We regret that we only became aware of your concerns through your review and the photographs shared afterwards.Regarding your comment about the resort being “more like a 3-star”, we respect that this is your personal opinion. However, we would also like to point out that our overall guest feedback and numerous positive reviews reflect a very different experience and the high standard of service and hospitality we work hard to maintain.Our entire team works extremely hard, particularly during the busy season, and always does their best to look after our guests. Late check-out requests are subject to availability and unfortunately cannot always be accommodated.We value all guest feedback and sincerely hope that, if given the opportunity to welcome you again, we can show you the level of hospitality and service we strive to provide every day.

  A lovely, friendly hotel but bring comfortable shoes for walking

  07 Aug 2026

  We stayed for 7 nights and overall had a really enjoyable stay.Our room, 110, was a good size and had a lovely patio. There was plenty of hanging space, although drawers were definitely lacking. The room had a hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and tea and coffee-making facilities. Unfortunately, the tea and coffee weren’t replenished during our stay. Towels were changed every three days, including pool towels, although the dirty pool towels weren’t removed. There was a good selection of toiletries.One of the unexpected highlights was discovering that we had a family of tortoises living outside our room! ?? They became our little neighbours and were definitely quieter than some of the human guests!The hotel itself was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was a good size, with a smaller children’s pool. There were lots of children using it, so it could get quite loud and boisterous at times, but with temperatures reaching around 36°C (feeling closer to 40°C), the pool was an absolute godsend.The pool bar was clean and the staff were friendly. Prices were typical hotel prices — around €5 for a Diet Coke and €15 for a Bramble cocktail.The main downside for us was the location. It’s at least a 15-minute walk to the supermarket and restaurants, and in the heat it felt considerably longer! There are a couple of bars about the same distance away, so a taxi is worth considering if you don’t fancy the walk.Google Maps and TripAdvisor were invaluable for finding places to visit and eat, and I would definitely recommend booking restaurants and excursions in advance.We visited Dum Spiro Spero and Esperides, which we enjoyed, but Crazy George’s didn’t really impress us. Sarris Winery is definitely worth the walk — €5 for a glass of wine in beautiful surroundings was excellent value.One of the highlights of the holiday was the Sea and Sun boat trip with Ace Travel/Jet2 on The Queen Bee from Argostoli harbour. It cost €75 each for the day and was worth every penny. We were picked up from a bus stop close to the hotel and dropped back at the hotel around 5pm, which made it really easy.We also took a taxi back to Argostoli two days later for an evening and would highly recommend doing this. The hotel arranged the taxi for €20, and the taxi back from the square was €25.We ate at Van de Rossa on the harbour front, which was fabulous and definitely worth a visit.OverallA lovely, clean and friendly hotel with a good pool and helpful staff. The location means you need to be prepared for some walking, particularly in the heat, but taxis are easy enough to arrange and there are plenty of great places to explore.We’d definitely recommend the hotel — and if you get room 110, look out for the tortoise family! ??
