Located just over 2km from the authentic Greek fishing village of Agia Efimia, Anax is an ideal base for experiencing traditional island life whilst also being within easy proximity of the famous Mrytos Beach (7.2km), with its dramatic cliff tops, white pebbles and turquoise waters, and Antisamos with its array of water sports.

Its wonderful, elevated position allows guests to enjoy breathtaking views across Ionian waters and towards the mystical island of Ithaca in the distance. With various outdoor sitting and dining areas to choose from, as well as a superb outdoor kitchen, exterior living at Anax is taken to a new level.

Steps lead up to the private parking area to the main accommodation which is split across 2 floors. The ground floor, awash with natural light, consists of a modern open plan sleek interior with plush furnishings. Both bedrooms have direct access to a shared covered balcony with views towards the twinkling lights of the fishing boats and marina of Agia Efimia below.

Agia Efimia is home to a pretty harbour which has been tastefully preserved and maintains its traditional character to this day. Here you can enjoy a meal in one of the many family run tavernas or waterside cafés, all serving delicious Greek delicacies such as moussaka and souvlaki, as well as the catch of the day. Alternatively, stroll down one of the jasmine scented backstreets with bakeries and gift shops.

For those days when you can prise yourself away from the wonderful infinity pool, the seashores of Lithovatis (Paradise Beach), the secluded Sikidi Bay and Kapsolimionas Beach are just a short drive away. Other significant places of interest to visit include the sparkling Melissani Lake (9km) and the mesmerizing Drogarati Caves (14km).

  • Being located next door to Avaton means Anax could be a good choice for an extended family or a group of friends who can be near to each other whilst retaining their own individual space and privacy.

Great Things to Do Near Anax

Take a boat trip to Ithaca

In the harbour of Agia Efimia there are various companies offering day trips to the mystical island of Ithaca just across the water. Excursions often stop off at beaches only accessible by boat and the island's capital Vathy.

Go diving in the Ionian Sea

Scuba diving clubs in Agia Efimia offer experiences for beginners and experienced divers.

Hike up to the Monastery of Themata

Located on the slopes of the Agia Dinati mountain, just 9km from Agia Efimia, this is one of the oldest sites in Kefalonia. The hiking path is surrounded by pine forest and offers amazing views across the sea and towards Ithaca.

Visit the local winery

Robola is a white wine grape variety which is primarily grown on Kefalonia. Learn about the winemaking process by visiting the vineyards and wineries as part of a small group or a private tour. Tastings included.

Visit the famous Drogarati Cave

Open only since 1963, this cave is accessed by climbing down 60m of steps, the cave itself is 65m x 45m and keeps very cool even in the hottest months. It is full of stalactites and stalagmites of different colours and is said to have been formed over 100 millions years ago!

Take a boat ride across Melissani Lake

This fascinating lake and cave is one of the most beautiful sites in Kefalonia. When the sunlight enters through the cave's roof the colour of the water is deep blue and as the sun rises becomes bright turquoise. You can even see the bottom which is 30m deep. You cannot swim in the lake but you are taken across it on a boat.

A day at the beach

Myrtos Beach is easily accessible from the villa (via car or private boat) and is probably the most popular beach on the island. It has striking blue water and iconic cliffs. It was used to film scenes from Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Sample the Greek cuisine

Agia Efimia is one of the best places to sample traditional Greek dishes in one of the several family run restaurants and tavernas.

Head to Fiscardo in the north of the island

Fiscardo has something for everyone - Roman ruins, a pretty harbour, great tavernas, excellent boutiques and delightful bays for an afternoon swim.

Turtle rescue fund

The Kefalonia locals are extremely proud of the fact that the 'caretta caretta' turtles continue to use the lovely beaches in the south of the island to nest their eggs. As one would hope and expect, these beaches are protected and supervised to ensure that the eggs are not disturbed by the invasion of sun umbrellas and beach barbecues. One of these unspoilt beaches is Mounda Beach.

Snorkelling

The Ionian Sea is one of the cleanest in Europe so get your snorkel and fins ready and head down to the coast.

Zax - a - ro- pla - stio ( pastry shop in other words!)

Visit any Zaxaroplastio for a sweet pastry! This complicated word denotes popular pastry shops that have a large array of tiny, sticky, confections, using filo pastry, nuts, honey, figs and raisins, some cakes ooze chocolate - – naughty but nice….

Experience the adventurous journey of Odysseus

Visit the Odysseus Theme Park based on Homer's unique epic, The Odyssey. Meet the monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus, see up close the sorceress Circe, the enchanted Sirens and the sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis.

Visit Sami's Nautical Museum

The biggest and most historical port in Kefalonia, this museum was opened in 2019 to show Sami's rich naval tradition. There are exhibits of all types of traditional Greek shipbuilding and vessels, and even a 4 metre replica of the Titanic.
