Panorama Fanari studios and apartments
Bay-facing balconies and a pool terrace on Fanari's quiet edge
About this hotel
The bay opens up directly in front of the building here, with every apartment's balcony looking across the water toward Lixouri rather than into a courtyard or street. The pool and its sun terrace sit just behind that view, with a poolside bar for a drink without needing to walk into town. Each apartment runs a full kitchen with fridge and kitchen table, useful given how far self-catering can stretch a week's budget in high season. The walk into central Argostoli takes under fifteen minutes along the water, and the cosmopolitan beaches of Platis Yialos and Makris Yialos sit within a mile and a half for an afternoon swim, close enough for a quick trip back for lunch before returning to the pool by mid-afternoon.
- Balcony views of the bay
- Pool with sun terrace
- Fully equipped kitchens
- Free private parking
Our take
Panorama Fanari scores 9.3 from about 276 reviews, an excellent score on a good sample. Its strengths are apartments with full kitchens and private balconies over Argostoli Bay and Lixouri, a bay-facing pool, a location 700 metres from the centre, and the beaches of Platys Gialos and Makris Gialos close by. I would recommend it to families and couples who want self-catering with a view. Guests who want hotel services such as a restaurant should choose a full hotel.
- ✓Book a top-floor apartment for the clearest, least obstructed view across the bay toward Lixouri
- ✓Walk to Platys Gialos in the morning before the sun terrace and pool fill up for the afternoon
- ✓Shop at the bakery near Fanari rather than carrying groceries the full distance from central Argostoli
Why we love it
- A pool and sun terrace that faces the bay rather than a car park
- Balconies with genuine views of the bay of Argostoli from every unit
- A blossomed garden that softens the walk between the pool and the apartments
- Under fifteen minutes on foot from the beaches of Platys Gialos and Makris Yialos
Why guests love itPanorama Fanari offers self-catering apartments at Fanari, about 700 metres from the centre of Argostoli, with balconies looking over Argostoli Bay towards Lixouri. Every unit has a full kitchen, so family meals are easy, and its own balcony. A pool facing the bay gives children a place to swim between outings, and the beaches of Platys Gialos and Makris Gialos are close by. I would book it for families who want space, a kitchen and a view, within reach of both town and beach.
