Pythos Apartments
(Apartments in Svoronata)
 |
| |||||||||
We went to the Pythos apartments in August 2006, with our 2 children. Pythos Apartments were absolutely superb . Friendly owners who were always available, for whom nothing was to much trouble and a mother who was the most excellent cook. There were never more than 15 people around the pool, some children (about 8 I think) but not enough to take over the pool area(!) and everywhere was very clean. As Pythos is only a small complex, the weekly barbeque was a lovely social evening and a chance to let your hair down and meet the other guests . Fresh bread is delivered every morning by van at about 10 am (which toots to tell you he's there). Worth getting up for!! We didn't hire a car but spent our 2 weeksaround the pool or on one of the 2 beaches within walking distance (15 & 20 mins respectively) Al Helis was a superb beach! Svoronata is a friendly, unspoilt and welcoming place and we shall be definitely be returning in the next few years!!  | ||||||||||

Thirteen days and counting!! It's been over a year since i've been to Kefalonia, and now we're into the final few days count-down, I can't think of anything else, work is unending and more dull than ever, Uk weather leaves me cold :) Well... I've said it before and i'll say it again - if you want real Greece, not 'what Brits in a foreign country' deem as a fantastic holiday, this is the one for you!People complain because it's isolated (pure heaven if you ask me), and God forbid, you have to walk occasionally! Bring it on... Great people, stunningly beautiful scenery, delicious food (and drink), great music and the best day-trips ever to be conceived in the history of day-trips. All totally soul-enhancing! Trust me, you'll never see your 9-5 in the same light again. Long live Pythos :) | ||||||||||

| I think it's a very lovely and peaceful place surrounded by olive trees, and flowers. You must visit it. | ||||||||||

| My husband and I stayed at Pythos Apartments for 2 weeks from end August 2004. We had no expectations, except that we wanted to stay somewhere quiet but with good access to the rest of the island and Pythos was ideal. The family that run the resort are very friendly and Louis who ran the bar speaks fluent English. The apartments are clean (maid comes every other day)but yes, they are basic. A car is really a must for part of your stay but Ammes beach is only a 15 minute walk away. There are quite a few tavernas to choose from, but I would recommend ? Paradise near Ammes Beach and one in Svoronata village opposite the petrol station. | ||||||||||

| Not just liked but loved it. Out of the way but there's a short cut to the village and shops along a rough track. Very friendly people at Pythos. Clean and peaceful. Loved Ammes beach. Hope to go back in the future. | ||||||||||

| Visited in September, 2003. A BIT! off the beaten track but find the short cut to the village, walk to shops is then only 15 minutes. Take a torch for night time - you'll need it. Lovely beach down the bottom of the road. The aircraft going in and out of the airport do not bother you at Pythos though on the beach you are aware of them but they are very infrequent so not bother. Love the whole island. Will be going back. Islanders so friendly. | ||||||||||

| These apartment are excellent, But don’t expect too much you will get complete peace and quiet. The apartments are basic but comfortable, with basic cooking facilities (don’t plan big meals) the pool is very good and the prices at the pool bar are no different possible cheaper than the beach bars. The owners are very friendly and will help you in any way they can. No mater how early you get up they will always be up before you cleaning the pool or round the hotel grounds. Don’t miss the Bar-B-Q its great plenty to eat, possible more expensive than you would pay for meal at the restaurants in the main town. But its great fun. The road to the apartments from the main road is dark so if you are walking take a torch. Unless you are planning to stay around the pool you will need a car. You can then visit the great beaches Lassi beach is great but gets very buy. We found a beach about 2 miles up the road and down a dirt track. beach beds, quiet, (even at week ends), beach bar and there’s a restaurant on the beach as well which serves good food. The sand is very soft and the water warm. It’s a great place to stay | ||||||||||

| staff were good but if you want something done dont expect it,i had a blocked drain and had to fix it myself then when i asked for more towels to soak up the flood i had to shout and after much shouting got them about 3 hours later.Good base camp for surrounding areas argostoli etc.car hire is a must or you are limited to the local tavernas etc,we had a car for a week and were lost without it.not recomended for children as there is nothing to occupy them.pool is below average as the deep end tapers of very fast,not safe.local beer is 3 euro vodka and coke about 4.beer is only 80 cent from large suppermarket.food is overpriced and portions very small.dont listen to the tour reps about his food cause it isnt true(kosmar) | ||||||||||

| Apatments are small but very clean, Kefalonia is not the cheapest place on the earth, We stayed in May the weather was freezing the first day and then red hot for the rest of the week Pythos is a very welcoming place the staff are very friendly and keep the place spotless, All the other guest were friendly which created an even better holiday I would recommend the place to anyone who is looking for some peace and quiet. | ||||||||||
