Kefalonia Dream
We stay at the gorgeous Apostolata Mareblu Skala Hotel in a private pool suite. This is our treat for a little luxury and peace and quiet, relaxing in your one bedroom suite with own pool and garden. I have stayed in the standard rooms as well and they're an excellent standard offering everything you'd expect for a 4* hotel. They provide beach towels for your stay, Wi-Fi, a free resort shuttle bus and much more. The hotel offers a beautiful large free-form pool with water jets and a small pool for kids. There are plenty of sunbeds available with parasols, games and entertainment for younger ones. You have access to the stunning rocky cove where you can swim and snorkel from the rocks and if you do feel more energetic you can always play tennis!
This hotel is built onto a hillside so if you do have limited mobility either call reception for the golf buggy or maybe take this into consideration as there are many steps. There is no beach as such but you can access the sea from steps off the rocks and the water is fantastic for snorkelling and swimming.
The hotel offers a selection of rooms along with different board basis, you can chose from either half board or all-inclusive. We always opt for all-inclusive as we like to forget about paying for things on our holiday. The main buffet restaurant offers a wide selection of food and has something for everyone, they also provide special themed nights to sample local and international cuisine. There is also the pool snack bar and a la carte restaurant to choose from as well.
The Mareblu is situated around a 10 minute ride away from Skala if you fancy a change of scenery or meal out. The hotel runs a free daily shuttle bus at selected times or jump in a taxi to suit you. The island of Kefalonia is stunning. I've been here six times and love getting out and about seeing the coastline, villages and people. Kefalonia will suit couples and families alike it has retained its traditional feel and has not been spoilt by clubs and bars like some areas in Greece. In my opinion this is a great hotel and lovely Greek Island.
