The hype
Reviewers are obsessed with the cleanliness and the hosts' baking, frequently calling it a 'home away from home'.
Myrtia Apartments
$80-160/ natt
Boka detta om You want a spotless, family-run home base in the village directly above Myrtos Beach without paying villa prices.
Varför människor älskar det
- Hosts Anna and Spiros treat guests like long-lost relatives (expect homemade cake)
- Hammocks on the private terraces for post-beach siestas
- Walkable to Divarata's best tavernas so you don't have to drive for dinner
Snabb Överblick: A simple, immaculate roadside guesthouse that trades resort amenities for genuine Greek hospitality and unbeatable proximity to Myrtos.
Recenserat av @ki_travels11: I felt completely off the grid here. The open layout makes the space feel huge, and having my morning coffee by that private pool was the highlight of the trip. It’s the perfect spot if you want total privacy and modern design in Kefalonia.

Reality check
The location is a bit of a crossroads, so while convenient, it lacks the total seclusion of a remote villa.
- You prioritize hygiene and warm service over luxury amenities
- You plan to hit Myrtos Beach early every morning to beat the crowds
- You want a kitchen to make simple breakfasts before heading out

Innan du bokar
Bra att veta
- Maid service is every other day, not daily.
- Check-in is 2:00 PM - 8:00 PM; let them know if you're arriving late.
- The drive down to Myrtos Beach takes about 5-10 minutes; walking is possible but the return hike is steep and brutal in heat.
Vad du ska packa
- Beach shoes for Myrtos (it's pebbles, not sand, and painful on bare feet)
- Earplugs if you're a light sleeper (for the road/roosters)
- Cash for smaller local tavernas that might have 'broken' card machines

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'mountain view' also includes a view of the road—it's not pure wilderness.
💡The WiFi is generally good but can struggle during island-wide peak usage times.
💡You are in a strategic 'triangle'—equal distance to Assos, Sami, and Argostoli.
💡The shower pressure is surprisingly good for a Greek island apartment.
💡There are hammocks on the terraces, which are the unsung heroes of the property.
