Guide to Bazukata

'Hidden in thick woods, this serene, tiny hamlet is heaven for a reclusive holiday, Kefalonian style.'

Bazukata's pure escapist territory. A hamlet so small it hardly figures on anyone's mind, it'll bring you out in goose bumps of pleasure if you want a totally inactive holiday.
What it hasn't got by way of things to do, it easily makes up for with uplifting scenery. Tucked into dense cypress and pinewoods, this tiny place overlooks the beautiful bay of Evereti. Providing the visual icing on the cake are the sun-drenched mountains of neighbouring Ithaka above.
When you need provisions, head up the hillside to pretty Manganos village, where you'll find the obligatory sleepy grocer's store. And if you fancy delving deeper into Kefalonia's lush interior, it's all on a plate for you. Just open your door and follow one of the quiet tracks through the olive groves to wrap yourself in peaceful villages, ancient orchards and old-time tavernas. And when the classic sunbathing-swimming combo calls, just head downwards to find a secluded pebble bay, washed by pearly, pure waters.
Fancy a dose of civilization? If so, then Fiskardo, ten minutes away, does the trick. Edged by a deliciously pretty waterfront lined with candy-coloured houses and fine fish tavernas, this bustling village is laced with chic shops, making it perfect for souvenir-pottering. And come evening, this is where to head for a long, lazy meal of fresh fish and salad enjoyed under a silvery Greek moon.
