Xenia Apartments
Beach-adjacent apartments with a seasonal pool and sea views
About this hotel
The beach is close enough here that the sea-view rooms and the sand share almost the same sightline, with a kitchenette in every unit for guests who'd rather picnic on the terrace than plan every dinner out. The seasonal outdoor pool gives a second option once the bay gets its afternoon wind, and the sun terrace and garden fill the space between the two. Breakfast runs as a continental spread with warm dishes, juice, cheese and fruit, served daily, and the outdoor seating and picnic areas extend that into lunch if guests choose to eat in. Vasiliki Port sits 1.7 kilometres away, a manageable walk or short drive for the Kefalonia and Ithaca ferries.

Our take
Xenia Apartments is the kind of base I recommend in Vasiliki for a week rather than a night: the beach is a few steps away, every unit has a kitchenette and the seasonal pool is a welcome alternative on windy afternoons. Balconies face the sea or the garden. Vasiliki Port is 1.7 kilometres away, so ferry days to Kefalonia or Ithaca need a short drive or taxi.
- ✓Request a sea-view room over the garden-side option if the extra cost is small; the difference in view is significant here.
- ✓Use the picnic and outdoor seating areas for a lunch in rather than walking back from the beach hungry.
- ✓Check the pool's seasonal opening dates before booking a shoulder-season stay, since it doesn't run year-round.
Why we love it
- A few steps from Vasiliki Beach

Why guests love itXenia Apartments is a few steps from Vasiliki Beach, and every unit has a kitchenette, which makes meals with children far easier to organise. Balconies look over the sea or the garden, and the seasonal outdoor pool gives a second option when the bay is windy, as it often is in the afternoon. There is a garden and terrace, free WiFi throughout, and Vasiliki Port is 1.7 kilometres away. Rated 9.6 from 55 reviews, it is a strong family pick.
