Perched above Agia Efimia with spectacular sweep of the Ionian Sea, Anax offers the perfect blend of elegance, tranquillity and authentic Greek island character. Ideal for couples or families, this beautifully designed villa is praised by fortunate previous guests for its breathtaking views, roomy comfort and seamless connection between indoors and out.

Inside, the villa is laid out over two levels. On the, split level, ground floor you will find an open plan living, dining and kitchen space that feels both sleek and welcoming, tastefully furnished, well lit, and complete with air conditioning, a Smart TV and all the modern appliances you could need. A cloakroom/utility area with washing machine adds practicality. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with their own ensuite shower room. The double room and twin both enjoy direct access to a shared balcony, letting you wake up to sea views and fresh breezes. 

Outdoors, Anax really shines. The property features several terraces where you can relax or dine, a shaded dining area for meals with your family and friends, an in built barbecue, and an outdoor shower. The private infinity edge pool (9m x 4m) is a real highlight, as the pool merges with the sea, making for the ideal morning, or golden hour dips. The sun terrace is generous and relaxed, with plenty of space to lounge, sunbathe, and take in the horizon and the twinkling of the lights below of Agia Effimia. 

Locationally, Anax is ideal, as just over 2 km from Agia Efimia, a beautifully preserved harbour village with excellent local tavernas, waterfront cafés, a marina, and that peaceful small village charm. For beach lovers, Mrytos Beach (7.2 km away) with its dramatic cliffs, white pebbles and brilliantly clear water make it unforgettable. Antisamos is also nearby (15km), offering water sports and a beautiful setting. Other quieter shores, including Lithovatis (Paradise Beach) (2km), lie within easy reach for when you want less crowded sands and more secluded swimming. Inland, attractions such as Melissani Lake (9km) and the Drogarati Caves (14km) provide memorable days out.

Anax feels like a hidden gem, very peaceful yet not isolated. The balance of airy living spaces, beautiful views, thoughtful amenities, and proximity to both beaches and village life is ideal for many. Whether you want slow mornings by the pool, evenings of Greek food and wine at Agia Efimia, or coastal exploration by day, Anax allows you to do it all without sacrificing style or comfort.

  • 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

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.

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.

Go diving in the Ionian Sea

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

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.

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.

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….

Snorkelling

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
