Kastro's - Homemade desserts to die for!

Unfortunately we visited on Saturday and it was closed( check b4 you go). But although we didnt get into the castle, we went up to the locked gate and had fantastic views( and played with a lizard!). The village is beautiful with small arty shops and cafes. We enjoyed all this even though we didnt get to see the castle....next time...next time

This place is a must, fabulous views from the top and from the taverna, beautiful place to visit in a morning when it's not too hot and stay for lunch, it's just breath taking!

4th year to the Island and will be going next year, always a pleasure to visit

One of the most relaxing places on the Island to sit and relax taking in the most fantastic views

Arrived home a week ago from our 4th visit to Kefalonia.  Every year we vistit To Kastro and every year we receive a warm welcome.  Its well worth the walk up the hill. Nicky's Chocolate and Brandy torte was as good as ever.  See you next year. x

Fantastic location, lovely altitude for views, but watch out for opening hours.... we almost had a divorce finding it, got to the top of the steep, hairpin bend access road, and found out it was shut, and was only open till 3 pm (this was at the end of August)

You must visit the Taverna next door to the castle Nikki who moved from England about 14 years ago, runs this place with her Greek husband, the hospitality and the food cannot be faulted, you realy do get looked after so well, I think what makes this place so special is that they really do go that extra mile just to look after you, and if you get the chance you must try her new desert which as of last week she still hadnt managed to think of a name for it,  it consists of hazlenut meringues, home made chocolate sauce, ice cream and it is scrummy

Miss this and (my opinion) you have missed one of the best places to visit on the Island. The Castle is much the same as any other but the views are fantastic and after the taverna at the castle is the ideal place to end the visit.

We had a great time scrambling round walls & down dark holes (must take a torch next time to see even further down the dark holes!!). The views are excellent, worth a visit just for these alone. We even did our own 'Time Team' looking at shards of pottery we picked up & guessing what they were for (to amuse my daughter of course). To cap it all The Castle (To Kastro) taverna by the entrance was just great. We had lunch here before we went round, came back another day for afternoon tea & cakes to die for, then we returned for an evening meal too. Nicki & Spiros were wonderful hosts giving my daughter a complimentary ice cream & we had a coffee each.
