Have just returned from our first holiday in Kefalonia, the island exceed all expectations in both beauty and variety, the Nikos apartments where we stayed were clean and the location and view well worth the steep climb from Lassi, each evening. we hired a car a must I would say to get the most out of this beautiful Island. The Blue Sky restaurant in Lassi was both first rate on service and quality of food, a wonderful and magical surprise to the evening was one of the waiters singing a couple of opera numbers....fab. Veroniques jewellery store was a delight and Mrs V and Abe lovely, I will be amazed if you enter and leave without purchassing something. Captain Vengallis boat from Skala to Ithika with swim stops was a magical day too and I highly reccommend, the only thing remaining to say is if you are going I hope you have as much fun and pleasure that my partner and I did this Summer................

We stayed in the 1 room, studio apartment, which was big enough for three of us. Balcony with beautiful views of the pool and bay so quiet and relaxing especially in the evening just chilling with a bottle of wine excellent ! very romantic place with the stunning views and quiet, not so good for children or teenagers.
The room was much better than we expected very clean and fresh, bathroom small but suffient. The resort itself is small and quiet but beautiful gardens and just looked lovely!
their is no reception, so when we arrived the keys to the apartment were in the door already and we were told which room we were in by the rep on the transfer bus.
There is no restauraunt, but you can go to the Olive Garden which is just across the road for a drink and something to eat which is also lovely. Of course their are plenty of restaurants to choose from in Lassie itself or even in Agostolli, which is only a 40mins walk away or 6 euros by taxi.
The pool was cleaned out every morning and their are plenty of sunbeds, but once again you can use the Olive Garden pool too, if you like.
Lassie has some lovely beaches! big ones and very little quiet coves as well.
The hill up to the Nikos apartments is a killer in the heat! but a small price to pay for the stunning views on offer at the apartments we felt.
Agostolli is a terrific place, it is a must, to go to! really vibrant! and if you go in morning you will see the loggerhead turtles really close up, just find where the fishing boats are moored up and they will be there, we spent ages just watching them!
Go on an island tour if your not hiring a car it is well worth it, but book them in Lassie itself not with the rep! much cheaper that way, as we found out to late.!
Kefalonia is such a stunning unspoilt island we absolutely loved it !! and we also loved the nikos apartments too!!

After having just returned from a two week summer holiday at the Nikos apartments, I can only really reinforce what lots of other reviews have said. Yes, you are situated on a very steep hill, but the view more than makes up for that. I would suggest that a car is essential, both for making the trip up and down to Lassi, but more importantly for exploring what is a beautiful island. Our room was very basic, but what we expected for the price, and I would say that "eating in" with the limited facilities isn't a great option. Maid service is excellent and a/c is available for 5E per night ( we found it essential in August). The pool area is great with plenty of sun loungers available;why one particular person felt it necessary to place towels on them in the morning is beyond me! We made a lot of use of the adjacent bar at the Olive Tree and found the hosts very helpful.
Highlight of holiday: Beach BBQ on glass bottomed boat.
Low point of holiday: Oscars Restaurant Greek Dancing - simply awful.
One final point - don't be put off by claims that Lassi is lively or noisy;this is nonsense and even though you are close to the airport, the lack of flights, even in August means you are virtually unaware of its existence.

The nikos apartments are lovely with fab views. we booked a last minute deal and my expectations were not too high. We were pleasantly surprised though. The apartments are lovely. Very bright and clean with a lovely pool and sea view. (we were in the new block. Not sure what the apts in the old block are like, but apparently, they are not as nice) The gardens are well maintained and the pool was always clean. I'd read about the hilly location, but it wasn't too much of a problem for us. Yes, it can be tiring walking back up the hill, but it's worth it for the great location of these apartments. If you like peace and quiet, with lovely views, then the nikos is for you. If you are after great night life and lots of entertainment, forget it. You won't find any of that here. I loved the relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely go back some time. There is no reception or bar/restaurant, but just across the road is the olive gardens. They serve food and drinks and you can use their pool if you prefer it.

Lassi, is a very small resort with lots of nice beaches. Quite a few restaurants line the main road with just a couple of bars and several small supermarkets. My favourite supermarket was mina's. If you spend 30euros, not only will they deliver your shopping to your apt. They will give you a lift too :)

I don't really have a favourite restaurant. I thought the food was just acceptable. Nothing fancy. Nothing special, but edible. We went to the blue sky a few times. Simply because it was one of the first restaurants we walked passed and the reviews were good. The staff were lovely the first and 2nd time we visited, but not so nice on the 3rd visit. I'm assuming we probably didn't spend enough money in there for their liking (we didn't purchase any alcohol with our meals). A main course with a bottle of water costs around 10 euros PP. Eating out in lassi is not cheap! we also ate at the ionian. Again, meal was just average, but the staff are very nice in there. We had a meal in the aqua marina, which I thought was a bit bellow standard and it cost more than in the other restaurants i've mentioned. However, the aqua marina has a happy hour worth mentioning and the drinks are very reasonably priced. Happy hour is from 6pm to 8pm. They have 'entertainment' most nights from around 8pm. It wasn't really my cup of tea, but good for those who like old time music.

My favourite place was Argostoli, the capital. It's just a 20 minute walk from the nikos apts. Turn right when you come out of the nikos apts and walk up the hill a little bit, then down the rest of the way. We like the bass cafe for the ambiance people watching. Drinks are a bit pricey though. The Italian restaurant mondo, opposite the sea front is nice and a bit cheaper than the restaurants in lassi. Ther's lots of nice little shops to look in. I loved argostoli. It's great to visit a part of Greece where the locals out number the tourists for a change. It felt very Greek and I liked that aspect of it.

Just one other point i'd like to make. You're better off getting your euros at home. I was charged 3 euros every time I changed money, even on small transactions!

Hope you've found my review of some use.
