Select Boutique Hotels Almyra, Fiscardo, Cephalonia


Almyra is set on the hillside a 15-minute walk from Fiscardo harbour. It enjoys fabulous panoramic views across the cypress tree-clad hillside, out to the sea, and beyond to Ithaca.

All 27 rooms and each of the numerous spacious terraces take full advantage of this superb location, and offer some variant of those views. Almyra is a very special place and comes with our highest recommendation.

Almyra is owned by Polychronis and Elina, whose family runs one of Fiscardo’s most popular harbourside restaurants, ‘Tassia’s’. Indeed the restaurant is named after the head chef, Tassia,(Polchronis’ sister) who is a minor celebrity – she is a published cookery book author and hosts a Greek television food programme.

The family are used to providing high levels of service and Elina, who runs Almyra, works hard to ensure that her guests may enjoy this same hospitality and service at Almyra.

The entrance leads through reception to a spacious bar, lounge and breakfast area, all of which open onto the main terrace. This terrace runs alongside the entire frontage of Almyra and extends towards the sea on one side – thereby providing considerable space and a wonderful vantage point overlooking the pool area with superb views to sea. Steps lead down to the largefreshwater swimming pool and Pool Bar, which are located in the grounds in front of the main building, and are surrounded by further terraces where guests can relax and enjoy the ambience.

This delightful boutique property is very substantial, yet it has only 27 rooms. The reason Almyra appears to be so large is that each of the rooms (be they standard, deluxe or a suite) are designed with space and comfort in mind, and are certainly considerably more spacious than the norm.
