Overview

 
Situated between Argostoli’s lively main square and its yacht-dotted marina, The Alley Hotel is a colourful little city bolthole with standout personality. Expect polished Greek hospitality, creative interiors, a handy Bed & Breakfast set-up and a clutch of smart suites that make it a stylish base for sampling Kefalonia’s beaches, wine bars and waterfront tavernas.

Think bold artwork, industrial-chic touches and splashes of colour – The Alley Hotel feels more like a small urban design hotel than a traditional Greek island stay. Step outside and you’re seconds from Argostoli’s café culture, harbourfront strolls and local life, with beaches and day trips across Kefalonia an easy hop away. For couples and friends keen to pair Kefalonia’s beaches with a touch of city style, The Alley Hotel delivers a great balance. You’re right in the heart of Argostoli, between the central square and the marina, with shops, tavernas and bars from just 100m away. It’s around 30 minutes from Kefalonia Airport.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The Alley Hotel doesn’t have a pool, which suits its urban-boutique vibe in the heart of Argostoli. Instead, use it as a stylish base and head out by taxi, hire car or local bus to discover Kefalonia’s beaches – from the organised sands of Lassi to the famous Myrtos Beach further up the coast.

After a day out, return to the marina-side setting for sunset strolls and drinks on the harbourfront.

Spa, sports & wellness


Work up a sweat in the compact on-site gym, typically open from morning until late evening, then unwind in the small spa area, where you’ll find a Turkish bath and a menu of massage treatments (local charges apply, usually 18+ and subject to seasonal opening times).

Reception and concierge are on hand for luggage storage, local tips and help arranging excursions, car hire or restaurant reservations, giving you all the benefits of a boutique city stay with the island on your doorstep.
