Kefalonia

The largest of the Ionian Islands, its undergone a transformation in recent years with the building of more villas and upmarket properties, yet it still manages to retain its charm. According to Olympic Holidays commerical director, Kefalonia is a very laid-back island that appeals to people who want to chill out - mainly families and couples, many of them retired. These are people who want to enjoy good weather, nice food and the scenic ambience of a suprisingly green island at their own pace, combining relaxation with sightseeing.
Sunvil Holidays recommend the recently refurbished, self-catering Residence Poseidon in unspoiled countryside in Spartia, overlooking Kefalonia's south coast. Facilities include a large pool, tennis court and free wifi.
Cosmos has added the three-star family-run Hotel Lorenzo in Lassi. It is ideal for those who like water sports or, or clients who simply want to sunbathe on its sandy beaches during the day but want the option of a lively night out in the islands capital Argostoli.
Argostoli has a big market every day on the seafront, where you can while away the hours in a bar watching the fisherman sail in with their catches.
Between June and August , you may even be able to spot loggerhead turtles at Mounda Beach, near Katelios. Day trip options include glass-bottomed boat tours; viewing the stalagmites at Drogarati Cave; taking a rowing boat to the underground Melissani lake; or visiting the Robola winery. Alternatively hire a car and take a scenic drive on the coastal roads or it is possible to take a ferry to visit neighbouring islands of Ithaca and Lefkado.
Fiskado, in the north, is a pretty little village with lovely Venetian architecture set around a harbour. It has been revamped over the past few years and is now like a mini St Tropez, it is very charming with fabulous fish restaurants and a few nightclubs.

Secrets from Warner Leisure Hotels

Their fascinating properties are full of little secrets to explore. Littlecote House, for example, was built in Tudor times but on top of the site of a Roman villa, whose mosaic floor is still preserved. Nidd Hall, alternatively, boasts the original locked safe where Benjamin Rawson's butler kept the silver.
However, one other fact they would like to share with you is that all their properties are child free, it's not that they don't love children, it's just that they feel that there should be some places exclusively for adults, especially as three of their lovely hotels have recently won the coverted four star award from the AA.
