Holidays in the Greek Island of Cephalonia (Kefalonia)
>>View our holiday accommodation on Cephalonia
The Greek Island
of Cephalonia rests in the unbelievably blue waters of the Ionian
Sea like a mythical place glimpsed in a dream. And, in many ways,
it is just that.
It is a treat for all the senses. How glorious it is to do nothing and then rest afterwards.
There is breathtaking scenery, the most wonderful light and a stunning sea view at every turn. The heady mixture of the fresh air, pines and the ever-present sea offers instant relaxation. The crystal clear sea is calm and warm, perfect for swimming, snorkelling or scuba diving at one of the few authorised sites in the whole of Greece.
“Once again, the organisation of Oneira Holidays was second to none.”
“Please send our heartfelt thanks to Vicky, who makes us feel part of her family and to Vangelis and Nikos. Nothing is too much trouble; no one could receive a better welcome.”
You
are serenaded by birdsong to the accompaniment of the tinkling bells
of the wandering goats. Once all that has tired you out, rest a
while in on of the many friendly tavernas, where you can enjoy good
simple food prepared from the freshest of ingredients - accompanied
by the superb local wines. And, if that were not enough, there are
the Cephalonians themselves. As warm and welcoming as their climate,
they are famous throughout Greece for their charm, friendliness
and an impish sense of humour. They enjoy their lives at a relaxed
easy-going pace and you cannot avoid doing the same.
In Cephalonia, the velvet soft waters and the lush green island are warmed by the sun to cocoon you in a gentle feeling of well being. The days are followed by nights of languid warmth. Clear, navy blue skies with far too many stars create an irresistible atmosphere of peace and contentment.
The dream island of Cephalonia awaits. And what better way to see it than with Oneira, Cephalonians themselves who specialise in dream holidays.

Hotels in Cephalonia
Sami
Beach, Cephalonia - HotelWe are aware that the majority of our guests, like ourselves, usually prefer the unconstrained independence of self-catering but there are those occasions when you crave to be spoilt and thoroughly pampered in a beautiful hotel. Sami Beach is just such a place.
The Museum Hotel, Faraklata, Cephalonia - HotelThis is an invitation to all of you who value the quality of being "a guest" rather than "a client".
