Faro Del Porto

Stayed in the Faro Del Porto in mid-Sept 2022. Booked a room with a mountain view, allocated room 12. Room was overlooking the road going past the building but had a great view of both mountain and sea as the balcony was L-shaped. Fairly basic room but did have a working fridge and air-con - big bonuses. Room was cleaned every day. The manager, Antonis, was on site every day and always had a useful answer if we asked any questions. He was very friendly and helpful, always happy to chat for a few minutes and helped us out more than once. The location was great for both the port area and town square, plenty of tavernas/restaurants serving quality food. The sea is great for swimming with a long, steeply shelving shoreline and clear water. However, the beach is all pebbles of various sizes so wear wet shoes but buy them at home as they will be cheaper. Best price we saw in Poros was 10Euros a pair. Ok, here's the biggie - if, like me, through sheer genetics, you are a walking mosquito feast, take all known repellants, creams and lotions you can find. We took a few and still suffered many rough looking bites. Poros is not a mozzie fest but there's clearly enough to cause issue if you're prone. As mentioned on other reviews, the barking dog nearby is real. However, while walking past one evening, the young lady of the house appeared at the door to tell the dog to quieten down, I stopped, put my hands on my hips and glared at her. After that, the dog didn't bark so much. The island ferry service is very good and reliable - Kyllini 54E return for two adults. Recommendations : Valsamis cruise from the harbour to Ithaca - 48E for two adults. Greek breakfast in Porta Terraza right by the harbour. Zanza bar for evening cocktails - policed by Patrick the dog ! Food - Agrapidos, up the hill overlooking the bay. Great food, prices and cheapest beer. There are a couple of late bars in Poros, very civilised. Space ran for rest of accolades.... 5 stars !!

Great location - 10 min walk from restaurants, beach and supermarket Beautiful view and good size balcony Cleaners were there every day and very friendly - great job Easy parking right outside Always hot water for shower

The location was excellent with an amazing view over the harbour. There was plenty parking at the accommodation. The cleaner visited every day and was very pleasant. Antonis was regularly at the property and always happy to help & advise on local facilities and places to visit. A very friendly, relaxing and comfortable location for our holiday, as a couple visiting Kefalonia.

This is the perfect location in Poros, Kefalonia. It is a few minutes from the port, very easy access by walk or car to get to the boat. It is walking distance to the center and restaurants. (Even with a stroller, walk in the streets for a short road, then side walks) Short drive to a few beautiful beaches. Room were big, clean, and the view spectacular! Very large balcony. Nice host, welcoming. Nice entrance with flowers. Parking on site. Small kitchen in the room. Was able to provide a crib for our baby girl. Will def stay there again when visiting Kefalonia.

Excellent, value-for-money, friendly apartments. Helpful rtesidential owner. Ask for an apartment on the east side and then in the evening you have shade to sit on the balcony to write your reviews. Or whatever. 10 minutes gentle downhill walk to harbour for tourist boat trips and the 1.5 hour ferry to the mainland. Late opening supermarket by the port and a pleasant though unexciting taverna, too. Two excellent places to eat slightly further up the hill -- Sunset and Agripodos. The old port/town is maybe 20 mins walkwith clean beaches and lots of cafes. Virtually no buses, but local taxi to the airport is €60.
