Apartment

Jacaranda is part of a charming seafront complex in the quiet village of Karavomylos, just 2 km (or a breezy 20-minute beach stroll) from Sami. Picture lush gardens, a shared pool perfect for cooling off, and a beach just 10 steps away, lined with whispering eucalyptus trees and dreamy views across to Ithaca. We’re not saying it’s paradise... but if the flip-flop fits!

In the village, you’ll find a lovely little bakery/café (dangerously close if you’ve got a weakness for fresh pastries) and a handful of traditional tavernas all within easy walking distance. Sami offers more action, restaurants, supermarkets, butchers, bakeries, pharmacy, even an ATM if you forget to bring euros for that extra scoop of gelato.

You don’t need a car, taxis are easy to find ,but if you're feeling adventurous, Kefalonia is worth exploring. Karavomylos is nicely central, so everything’s within reach. Want to hop to Ithaca, the mainland, or even Italy? Ferries await just down the road.

Inside the apartment, you’ll find two comfy bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with roomy 3/4 twin beds (great for kids or starfish-style sleepers). The sofa in the lounge opens into a double bed too, just in case the whole crew’s along for the ride. There’s a SMART TV, free Wi-Fi for streaming or staying connected, and a kitchen fully stocked for your inner MasterChef—hob, oven, toaster, fridge-freezer, coffee machine, washing machine, even an iron for the very brave.

Families, you’re sorted: we’ve got a cot and high chair ready. And outside? French doors open to a sweet patio with dining for six and a small gated garden, perfect for sipping wine while the sun sets or letting the little ones roam (semi) free.

Oh, and yes, we’ve got all the towels covered, including beach ones. Just bring your swimsuit and your holiday spirit.
