Hotel Kourkoumelata
A quiet adults-only pool and hot tub near Lygia Beach
About this hotel
Hotel Kourkoumelata sits apart from Argostoli's busier central streets, offering adults-only rooms with garden or pool views, a kitchenette, and a balcony, alongside a seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub for unwinding without needing to drive anywhere. The bar and lounge extend the property's own social space, and free on-site private parking makes this one of the more car-friendly bases in the wider Argostoli area. At 1.9 kilometres from Lygia Beach and just three kilometres from Kefalonia Airport, this suits travellers who want quick airport access and a quiet pool rather than walkable proximity to the town's museums and shops, treating a car as a given rather than an inconvenience for the length of the stay.
- Hot tub and outdoor pool
- Free on-site parking
- Near Kefalonia Airport
- Adults-only rooms
Our take
Hotel Kourkoumelata is a modest 2-star adults-only hotel, rated 7.6 from 66 reviews, whose assets are a seasonal outdoor pool, a hot tub and free parking. Its location three kilometres from Kefalonia Airport and 1.9 kilometres from Lygia Beach makes it practical rather than central. I would recommend it to couples with a car and a first or last night on the island, not to guests who want to walk into Argostoli.
- ✓Use the free on-site parking as a base for day trips around the island rather than relying on taxis
- ✓Ask for a pool-view room specifically over the garden-only alternative
- ✓Plan the short drive to Lygia Beach for a swim, since it isn't within comfortable walking distance
Why we love it
- A hot tub alongside the seasonal outdoor pool
- Free on-site private parking, useful for exploring the island by car
- Just three kilometres from Kefalonia Airport
- A quiet, adults-only atmosphere away from the busiest streets
Why guests love itHotel Kourkoumelata is adults-only, so it is not suitable for families travelling with children. Parents on a child-free trip to Kefalonia will find rooms facing the garden or the seasonal outdoor pool, a hot tub and free private parking. Lygia Beach is 1.9 kilometres away and Kefalonia Airport three kilometres, which suits a short stay or an early flight. The 7.6 score from 66 reviews points to a simple, decent hotel. I would keep it for couples with a car.
