Map & location
Lourdas, Kefalonia, Greece
Carved into a tranquil hillside above Lourdas, F Zeen Kefalonia is perfectly positioned for big sea views and easy beach access. Wander around 100m downhill to the long sweep of Lourdas Beach, a mix of fine shingle and sand with clear, calm water and a backdrop of Mount Ainos.
Small tavernas, laid-back bars and a handful of minimarkets sit around 300m away, while the wider south coast – including Skala and other pretty coves – is easily explored by hire car or taxi. Lourdas itself is low-key and spread out, ideal if you prefer nature, walking trails and sea air to full-on nightlife.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
F Zeen Kefalonia is all about outdoor living, with three freshwater pools dotted across the hillside:
• An inviting main pool with a wide sun terrace, loungers and parasols
• Two additional pools – some with integrated whirlpools and hammocks – heated between roughly 01 May and 16 October
Pool towels are complimentary and can be swapped when needed.
Down at Lourdas Beach, guests benefit from reserved sunbeds and umbrellas, making it easy to split your day between infinity-edge swims and dips in the Ionian Sea. Kayaks and paddleboards are available from the hotel’s own water sports offering (seasonal, some charges may apply), and snorkelling is great right from the shore.
