Kioni has one of the most picturesque settings in the Ionian, and these apartments have been designed to make the most of the view, not only of the village itself but also out and across the inner Ionian Sea, dotted with wooded islands and the mainland mountains beyond. Each apartment or studio has its own terrace facing the sea, perfect for watching the gentle activity below as the yachts and fishing boats come and go.

The ground floor studio is comfortable with a kitchenette, shower room and twin beds, with French windows that open onto a terrace. There are also four comfortable one bedroom apartments, each with a living room and kitchen area, shower room and toilet. Each bedroom has either windows or French doors opening towards the sea. Whilst the bedrooms and living areas are all air conditioned, if you open the windows on a summer evening you can enjoy the cool breeze drifting up from the harbour filling the rooms with the scent of jasmine and lemon blossom. Twin apartments are on first floor and the double apartments are on second floor.

A stroll down the lane shaded by olive trees and bougainvillea leads to the waterfront with its tavernas, cafes and well stocked mini-market. Further narrow lanes, originally built for mules, wind their way through the cluster of traditional houses, some leading to tiny beaches hidden from above. For the more energetic, Kioni is the perfect start and finish point for a network of ancient paths built in Venetian times that connected this historic village port with the settlements in Ithaka’s mountainous interior. Many are well marked, but getting lost amongst the cool olive groves and oak woodland can be a real pleasure especially as every gap in the trees will reveal the harbour and bays below. Eleni Apartments, simple, carefree holiday living at its very best.

NB: Guests staying at Eleni Apartments can make use of the swimming pool Likoudis Apartments.
