Move over Santorini and Mykonos, and turn your gaze to this slice of heaven in the Ionian Sea.
Nothing screams summer quite like a Greek island. And if you've already posed next to the windmills of Mykonos and posted pictures aplenty of the blue domes of Santorini, perhaps it's time to turn your gaze to Kefalonia.
Located west of mainland Greece in the Ionian Sea, Kefalonia not only offers everything the aforementioned classic haunts are known for - sweeping sea vistas, creamy beaches and scenic bays flanked by steep limestone cliffs - but boasts a wine-growing scene, too.
And now, there's another great reason to head there: the launch of Eliamos Villas Hotel & Spa, perched above a secret cove and remote beach. Designed by London-based firm Maike Gruna Interiors, it's home to just 12 dreamy villas, with acres of natural stone and vast windows framing uninterrupted ocean views.
And the best bit? It's just a 20-minute drive from Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia, with its seaside tavernas and pedestrianised town centre featuring quaint boutiques. eliamos.com
