On the coast of Kefalonia, a boat trip can feel like you’re floating on air. While this might appear to defy the laws of physics, this is exactly the way Melissani Cave is often described. The water of the cavernous lake is so clear that this illusion comes to life – and living just eight minutes away is ideal for experiencing this incredible day out. This apartment is also just ten metres from the waters of the Ionian Sea, meaning its aqua offerings are second to none. And to add to this range, you’ve also got a courtyard with a residents’ pool. We love the idea of an early morning swim followed by brunch up at your apartment – perhaps up on the private balcony? Serve up fresh Greek pastries and coffee as you look out to views of the sea, mountains, leafy trees surrounding the home. After breakfast, take shade from the midday sun in your elegant, modern lounge. The atmosphere is simply made for relaxing, with calming tones of blues and sandy hues reminding you of the beach. Wood and wicker add another layer of nature, while tropical-themed prints and cushions finish off with a quirky, colourful edge to... leave a lasting impression.
