Description from owner
Description
The Walnut Tree villa's central position on the island ensures easy access from Kefalonia's airport, a half an hour drive from the capital of Argostoli. The villa is set in an acre of gardens and orchards with a large swimming pool - we also have table tennis, badminton and a boule court. Should you want to tear yourself away from the tranquility of The Walnut Tree, there are other major attractions nearby which include the cave/lake of Melissani, famous Myrtos Beach and the beautiful little port of Fiskardo. Activities available locally are sailing, diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, cycling and walking. There is a very good riding stable just outside the town of Sami and Donkey Trekking can be booked in the village of Grizata. There are tennis courts at Karavomolis. At Antisamos beach there are several good beach bars and tavernas, beach showers and great water sports, not to mention wonderful swimming in the sheltered bay. There are plenty of delightful restaurants, bars and cafes within a short drive of the villa in Karavomilos, Agia Efimia and Poulata. Four kilometers away, the bustling port of Sami has ATMs, a post office, medical centre, tourist office, supermarkets, bakeries and shops with many waterside tavernas, restaurants, ice cream palours and bars. However, the special charms of The Walnut Tree villa are the wonderful views of the Greek countryside and the mountains of the Kefalonian National Park of Aenos - as well as being centrally placed on the island - with nothing very far away.
