Avithos Resort

We stayed for 7 nights and overall had a really enjoyable stay. Our room, 110, was a good size and had a lovely patio. There was plenty of hanging space, although drawers were definitely lacking. The room had a hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and tea and coffee-making facilities. Unfortunately, the tea and coffee weren’t replenished during our stay. Towels were changed every three days, including pool towels, although the dirty pool towels weren’t removed. There was a good selection of toiletries. One of the unexpected highlights was discovering that we had a family of tortoises living outside our room! 🐢 They became our little neighbours and were definitely quieter than some of the human guests! The hotel itself was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was a good size, with a smaller children’s pool. There were lots of children using it, so it could get quite loud and boisterous at times, but with temperatures reaching around 36°C (feeling closer to 40°C), the pool was an absolute godsend. The pool bar was clean and the staff were friendly. Prices were typical hotel prices — around €5 for a Diet Coke and €15 for a Bramble cocktail. The main downside for us was the location. It’s at least a 15-minute walk to the supermarket and restaurants, and in the heat it felt considerably longer! There are a couple of bars about the same distance away, so a taxi is worth considering if you don’t fancy the walk. Google Maps and TripAdvisor were invaluable for finding places to visit and eat, and I would definitely recommend booking restaurants and excursions in advance. We visited Dum Spiro Spero and Esperides, which we enjoyed, but Crazy George’s didn’t really impress us. Sarris Winery is definitely worth the walk — €5 for a glass of wine in beautiful surroundings was excellent value. One of the highlights of the holiday was the Sea and Sun boat trip with Ace Travel/Jet2 on The Queen Bee from Argostoli harbour. It cost €75 each for the day and was worth every penny. We were picked up from a bus stop close to the hotel and dropped back at the hotel around 5pm, which made it really easy. We also took a taxi back to Argostoli two days later for an evening and would highly recommend doing this. The hotel arranged the taxi for €20, and the taxi back from the square was €25. We ate at Van de Rossa on the harbour front, which was fabulous and definitely worth a visit. Overall A lovely, clean and friendly hotel with a good pool and helpful staff. The location means you need to be prepared for some walking, particularly in the heat, but taxis are easy enough to arrange and there are plenty of great places to explore. We’d definitely recommend the hotel — and if you get room 110, look out for the tortoise family! 🐢

We went here for 5 days , the hotel it self is very nice ,we had a ground floor room with a patio so when we went back to the room we liked to sit outside as it was so pleasant. Lots of wardrobe space and a decent amount of hangers . Complimentary Tea and coffee situation could have been better . The pool area was lovely and always enough sunbeds ,pool bar was good their chips are really popular for good reason. Now the negatives, its a bit isolated , we did walk to a couple of restaurants in the evening but the roads are very dark and when a car comes by you have to be careful ,it would have been nice if there were a bit more life to walk to rather than just a couple of restaurants that didn't have any holiday atmosphere.

We had the most wonderful stay at Avithos Resort and honestly didn't want to leave. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome by the incredibly friendly and caring staff, who couldn't do enough to make our stay special. Their genuine kindness and hospitality really stood out and made all the difference. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, immaculately maintained, and surrounded by lovely gardens. It was the perfect place to relax after a day exploring Kefalonia. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a fantastic stay including a fully stocked kitchen. Breakfast was amazing. It was truly bountiful, with an excellent selection of fresh, delicious food that catered to every taste. It was the perfect way to start each morning before heading out to explore the island. We also loved the location in the little village of Svoronata. It has such a relaxed, authentic feel, with local tavernas nearby and some gorgeous beaches just a short walk or drive away. Returning to the resort each afternoon to relax by the pool was a real treat. Make sure to visit the six little turtles that freely roam one of the little gardens. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Avithos Resort for making our holiday so memorable. We left with wonderful memories and are already looking forward to our next visit. If you're planning a trip to Kefalonia, we can't recommend Avithos Resort highly enough—it truly is a little slice of paradise.

Just returned from a fabulous week at the resort- we were new to Svoronata and took advice from others reviews when selecting Avithos - and so glad we did! The setting is beautiful, easy to walk to beaches and restaurants, handy supermarket not too far away, we had a hire car to venture further afield. The studios were very well appointed and the garden's immaculate- everything was kept clean and tidy and gave a peaceful atmosphere to the guests- no loud music from the bar! The pool was welcoming with plenty of sun beds and loungers to choose from of all shapes and styles ( we did see reservations/towels on them throughout the day even though there are notices in all the parasols stating prohibited!) but there are still more than enough to choose. The breakfast buffet was amazing ( we had a B&B option) so much choice and very well presented - the best we have seen in Kefalonia. Variety of guests from babies to adults and all mixed along with a smile in this lovely resort- thank you to all the team in Avithos Resort ☀️
