Avithos Resort
Greece, Europe
Svoronata
This family-friendly resort is situated in southern Kefalonia, close to Avithos beach. This is a lovely, fertile region where olive trees and citrus orchards abound. The coastline faces the tiny island of Dias and offers magnificent views to the island of Zakynthos across the channel. The resort's location makes an ideal setting for a peaceful and tranquil holiday. The nearby village of Svoronata is never crowded with tourists so there are no intrusive noises or sights to hamper your relaxation and private time. The resort is a perfect place for a holiday and an ideal base for exploring the island. The nearby villages of Kaligata, Kourkoumelata and Metaxata are charming local villages each with its own character and history. Guests will find restaurants within 200 metres of the accommodation, whilst shops are 1 km away. The beach resort of Lassi and the capital of Argostoli are 8 and 10 km away respectively. The airport is 3 km away and the transfer takes approximately 20 minutes.
This air-conditioned resort is a brand new complex, which has been built in the traditional Kefalonian style and is set in spacious gardens. The living quarters are well designed and decorated, combining elegance and comfort and have all the amenities for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Property facilities include a lobby with hotel safe and currency exchange facilities, a café and snack bar, fax services and an Internet corner with WIFI access. Guests can relax in the TV lounge, which features satellite channels, and can leave their cars in the private car park. The resort offers disabled access.

Take me back!
So impressed with our stay at Avithos. For the price you’re paying for Greece ( I would argue this is reasonable compared to others), and the quality of the hotel, this resort exceeds all expectations!
The hotel staff were so lovely, in particular the bar and breakfast ladies! I’ve seen below someone comment on rude bar people - we didn’t experience this at all. I did however experience customers being rude to them which is maybe why they were a bit grumpy back.
It felt very peaceful and simple, but done well. The pool area is immaculate, the pool always felt so clean, the grounds always kept tidy.
Location- this was our first time in Kefalonia and decided to stay south as we had a young toddler. We had a car and I think you’d struggle without a car unless you just wanted to stay in the hotel and go to the close proximity restAurents. I found the area quite sleepy and slow but nothing wrong with that, I grew to love it! Must go to Avithos beach (5 min drive-20/30 min walk)- so relaxing and beautiful!
Food- breakfast was delicious, and so was their bar snack menu.
Very kid friendly but also lots of couples, so as long as you’re aware of that! They do advertise as a family hotel.
Only minor negative if I had to be picky was the room. The bed me and my husband had was 2 singles pushed together which was slightly annoying as a gap would wedge open each night. Rooms always cleaned very nicely everyday though!
Thank you for a lovely stay and holiday .
Holiday
Just returned from Avithos Resort in Kefalonia. The hotel itself is lovely — clean, well‑kept and set in beautiful surroundings — but there is a big downside that guests should be aware of. The nearest restaurant, bar or supermarket is at least a 25‑minute walk away, which is far from ideal for families, anyone with mobility issues, or anyone who simply doesn’t want a long walk every time they need something.
The hotel bar serves a very limited menu, and both food and drinks are expensive for what’s offered. The biggest disappointment was the hotel closing the entire pool and bar area for half a day due to a photo shoot. When I asked why guests weren’t informed, I was told there was a small sign at reception and that guests were expected to “understand the inconvenience.” For a resort of this standard, that level of communication and consideration is simply not good enough.

Deliciously perfect!
Absolutely wonderful place to stay and have as a base to explore Kefalonia. Super friendly and helpful and smiley staff who always say hello to their guests. Everywhere is immaculate. Very quiet environment (even though the place was fully booked) We booked breakfast each morning and it was outstanding: so much choice, from feta pastries, Greek yoghurt parfaits, pastries, salad, cheeses and meats, to fresh fruit and bread and cakes. Our room was spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the mountains. Beaches 15 mins walk away but there is a beautiful pool on-site. A totally perfect and relaxing place to stay!
Relaxing and peaceful holiday
This hotel is well laid out, very clean and maintained to a high standard. The apartment had everything you would need although we did out to appreciate authentic Greek food. The staff were very friendly and were happy to help to make our stay welcoming and very enjoyable. We were surprised at the choice of restaurants in the area as we were there at the end of the season. Kefalonia is a beautiful quiet island so you do need a car to experience but the roads are easy to drive on. Thank you to Christina and all of the team at Avithos Resort. The staff work very hard to make this a relaxing place to stay.

Wanted a quiet relaxing holiday.
My wife and I wanted a quiet relaxing comfortable trip away before the dark Scottish nights kicked in. The resort was everything we hoped.Not too big but still a nice size.The deluxe suite was a great size with a large balcony and set amongst immaculately kept gardens. The hotel was in a quiet area like we hoped yet there were 4 to 5 excellent restaurants from between a 5 to 25 minutes walk.Avithos and Ai Hellas beaches were also an easy walk away,we went in late September early October so temp. was lower than in high summer. Argostoli was only a half hour on the bus which was worth a visit as was a great afternoon at Sarris winery only a km from hotel. The staff were all very friendly polite and helpful unfortunately Christina at reception is the only name I can remember. Had breakfast a couple of times and was tasty and well stocked with choice. I would certainly recommend the hotel on the basis that it is for those wanting a quieter more relaxed holiday and hopefully will get to visit again in the future.
