Lourdas is one of the most popular tourist resorts on Kefalonia. The village has a variety of tavernas offering traditional and international cuisine. On Lourdas long shingle beach you can find many watersports and activities. Walking is a favourite in this area as there are still many rural part to the surrounding countryside. Further down the coastline is Mounda bay where the famous Loggerhead turtles lay their eggs during the month of July in the fine sand of Kaminia beach. St. Georges castle once the capital of Kefalonia is around 15 minutes drive from the villa and most of the outer walls of this fortress are still standing. It is worth a trip just for the views. The sun sets behind Villa Amoudia allowing the patio area and pool to be a sun trap almost all day.
