Trapezaki Beach is a celebrated narrow but lengthy stretch of sand southeast of the capital of Kefalonia, on the southwest coast. Because of Trapezaki’s reputation as one of the loveliest attractions on the island, you’ll want a villa that is found in this area. These are all the qualities exhibited by Thalia Villas, and Vrbo is offering the two-story Villa Thalia Venetia for six guests. Villa Thalia has a fireplace in the living room and a swimming pool by the patio. It takes five minutes to walk to the beach, so you can lounge by the poolside first and enjoy the view night and day.

Looking out to the horizon, you will see white beaches and the sea. If you feel like going for a hike, it will take about 20 minutes to walk to the shore. A short drive should take you there very quickly. Your Airbnb host is generous with eggs, milk, and vegetables from the garden, so it’s going to be a marvelous holiday.
