Search hotels in Lourdhata

Lourdata is a village on a hill, so there is not what you would call a village centre. Also, as it was October, alot of the tavernas were closing for the season, so a car was absolutely necessary to get to the tavernas up the hill from the beach and the Diana studios. I think in high season, we would have had a different experience here, but for us, peace and quiet was just what we needed, along with the sound of the sea, and the sea within a short walking distance. We also were fortunate to have summer weather, which locals said was unusual for the time of year.

Pleasant rooms with an amazing sea view. The owner, Mariana, was very accommodating and friendly. Arranged and paid for our breakfast on the first morning. Very tranquil and scenic Extremely hilly even for seasoned walkers, need a car ideally. There are some nice restaurants up near the main road, however, walking back in the dark was somewhat challenging. 2.5hr walk to Argostoli or £40 euros each way in taxi 35 Euros in a taxi from airport to accommodation (booked through hotel owner) Lovely pool with poolside shower. No bar or food available on site The walk to the beach is downhill and steep on return. You can see turtles close up in Argostoli Theres a lovely bar down the road which is owned by a Welsh man. It has an amazing setting.

The relaxed atmosphere and slower pace of life (for me anyway) just real easy going friendly locals. The food in la mer and chefalonia restaurants in the close proximity to where I stayed were as always absolutely beautiful in both taste and presentation

My choice was Lourdata because it is in a quiet place and close to everything you need. People in Lurdata are extremely kind and good. Long Lourdes beach and Kanali beach below are fantastic, uncrowded and with a lot of privacy. Going to the beach is a problem, if you don't have a car or motorbike because there is a big climb on the way back. But in every guesthouse it is possible to rent a car or something else.

Lourdhata is very pretty with lots of nice Tavernas and a really nice beach. Just need to remember that it's built on a hillside (which gives it it's stunning vista) so expect a fairly vigorous walk if you are located in the upper reaches! Or if you prefer, get a hire car.

There's one big problem with staying here : unless you're super fit of have a rental car at some point you are probably going to have to struggle up the.very steep hill from the beach area to your accommodation, some of the restaurants & bars and the shops Just keep this in mind because otherwise it's a perfect location for a quiet beach holiday. Don't expect wild night life or masses of beach activities. It's quiet, relaxed, chilled and quite beautiful.
