Just Back July 2005!

Really enjoyed the day, Vathi (Capital of Ithaca) is really beautiful, not like any other capital I have been to before! Spent about 1.30hrs there before moving on to Kioni for lunch which was nice, Kioni is very photographic, were there for about 2hrs, we then called in at a beach for some swimming off the boat. Excellent day out. Would recommend to anyone.

I can't understand some of the comments other reviewers have place here, the Flamingo was a very nice, good value restaurant, set in a lovely garden. Staff all very friendly and helpful, food was also to a very high standard. Would recommend this place one hundred percent, we went about 3 times and enjoyed it every single time.

We really enjoyed the visits we made to the Old Village / Zorba's, we had to wait on a table on a couple of occassions, so it was obviously popular. The pizzas are excellent, really, really the best thing they do. I had a Stiffardo, which was nice enough and a Mousaka, which to be honest was below par! Staff seem very nice, but I think the place may be ruled with an iron fist!!! Very Efficient!

Mylos Bar From The Beach

Michalis Apartments

Roman Villa Mosaic

Just returned from a 14 night stay at the Villa Angelos which I enjoyed very much. The accomodation is very 'Greek' and as you might expect fairly basic, although are room had a very large fridge (which was definatley needed, to combat the heat), 2 electric hobs, and an air conditioning unit. No real shower as such, it's a drain on the centre of the bathroom floor with a shower fitting coming from the taps. Air conditioning was 6 Euro per day and although quite expensive, it made our stay a great deal more comfortable as it was very hot. Fan hire was 12 Euro a week, and saftey deposit use was 10 Euros per week. You could have the use of the room until departure for an extra 15 Euro. We had a room on the upper floor which had a very impressive view of the sea and looked onto Xi beach/Lixouri area. Appartments are up a very steep hill, and it's another step hill again to Gradikai (and all the other) beaches, so if you don't like hills, avoid Lassi. The room only has 1 spare plug point, so if you want to use a fan at night you may have to unplug your fridge, etc.. to use it and a mosquito adapter, alternatively by a tripple adapter there which most supermarkets stock. Room was cleaned regularly, and I have no complaints. The owners spoke little english (more than my greek) but were really nice and seemed to want to make you welcome. Two supermarkets just down the hill and about a 10 minute walk to the nearest beach (Gradiaki) which has sunbeds, umbrellas, food/drink cafe. I will try and post some photos up of the apartments and Lassi/Kefalonia as we hired a car for a few days from CBR (125 Euro for a Punto) went all of the island on 30 Euro of fuel.

Nice little quiet cove, doesn't get much breeze and sand can get very very hot. Sand isn't as yellow as the other two beaches in Lassi. Water is nice and clear. Plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas if thats your thing. Place selling all the usual food and drink, and is okay on price. Like all the beaches in Lassi, you need to go down a steep hill to get top them, fine going down, quite a hike coming up!

Really nice friendly place, we ate here twice for breakfast and once for our evening meal. Had the sea bass which was lovely for 10 euros. Definately worth a visit.

Visited Monte Nero once during our holiday and to be honest, did not really enjoy the experience. It is trying to be a little to posh and it doesn't work very well.

Excellent restaurant with the best views in Lassi, perfect place to watch the sunset. Prices were reasonable and we ate here several times. I had the rabbit which was excellent, very subtle flavours. Also tried the agrillas chicken, which was beautiful, Stufffed Lamb which was also excellent.

Really nice and place, can get really busy on the live music nights. We ate here a few times and really enjoyed it. Grandma's meatballs are excellent!
