The Venia Studios & Apartments in Kefalonia are central to the beach, restaurants, supermarket and bars. The staff are helpful and friendly. There is a good bus service to the capital, Argostoli, and there is an excellent ferry service to Lixouri, and it's a short bus ride from the airport.

There is no swimming pool on the Venia complex, but there is one nearby that the residents may use.

It was a relaxing and peaceful holiday, with a good choice of restaurants, ranging from Chinese, pizza and Greek dishes. Prices seem to be on par with English prices, but overall it was good value for money.

The Venia Studios & Apartments are a little out of the way, behind the hotel Mediterranean, which is down a steep hill from the main Lassi road. They were very clean and spacious, and the sea views were spectacular. The only problem we found with the apartment was in one of the bedrooms, there was an emergency fire exit sign that was lit 24 hours a day, making it hard to sleep, we overcame this by leaving the wardrobe door open to block the glare.
