We have just arrived back from staying at Karavados Beach hotel for a week. Our room was clean and a reasonable size, all rooms have a small balcony. I enjoyed the breakfasts, which gave a good choice of bread, cakes, honey, yoghart, cereals, cheese, meats, tea, coffee etc. Air conditioning is charged at 6 euros per day, but as it was boiling hot when we were there it was needed! There were not very many guests here, so the hotel was very quiet, especially in the evenings. I would reccommend not to go half board as there are some fantastic places around to eat. Just down the hill (about 5 - 10 mins walk) you get to a beautiful little beach (walk around the corner to find an even better one - great for snorkling!) At the side of the beach are 2 places to eat - one is open through the day which serves a fantastic greek salad. On the other side is my favourite place to eat of the whole holiday - it opens at 6 right through to midnight and is a must - the swordfish is fantastic and the guy that runs it is very friendly. We hired a car for the week and if you are the type that wants to go off exploring rather than staying around the hotel then it is a must - the island is easy to drive around, with lots of great beaches and places to visit inclusing Asos, which is stunning. We had a fantastic time in Kefalonia and loved the quiet relaxed atmosphere of the hotel. However if you want to be closer to more bars and places to eat, somewhere like Lordas is still relaxed but more busy, with more places to eat. - But if you have a car you can visit a place like this in around 10 mins. You can use the hotel computer with internet for 1 euro 50 for half an hour.
