And for a truly authentic experience, you may attend the cooking classes held every Thursday, 200m from Olivea Premium Holiday Homes, where you have the chance to create and enjoy authentic local recipes with hand-picked local herbs and vegetables.
Such a small island and yet, so many villages to visit for eating and strolling! Indulge yourself with local delicacies, fresh fish, coffee or drink at the nearby (5' by car) picturesque fishing village of Frikes, gourmet cuisine at Platreithias, dining while watching the majestic sunset and view of Kefaloni at the enchanting Lefki and high level gastronomy in front of a breathtaking view at Exogi. At an equally short distance (15' by car) through a magical route between trees and the surprisingly beautiful beaches of Kourvoulia, you will find yourself wandering in the well-known picturesque village of Kioni to explore the bars, cafes and premium restaurants perched on the rock or right in front of the sea.
If you visit Vathy, don't miss dining in one of the dozens of restaurants that are literally by the sea, while gazing at the luxury yachts moored in its calm, lake-like bay. Alternatively, enjoy the magnificent, panoramic view of the natural bay of Vathy with the tiny Lazaretto island in the middle, along with local delicacies at the old Hani in Diaselo or authentic Greek cuisine and exquisite sweets at Perachori.
