Sea View Villas in Assos Village

Near the Assos peninsula you will find beautiful beaches, many of them hidden, waiting anxiously to be found. The finest of them is the famous Myrtos beach, a trademark of the area. Fairly described as one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, its distinctive characteristic is the smooth white sand covering its coast. The path to Myrtos beach passes through lush green landscapes and towering cliffs that protect the beach from the wild insular wind. Thus, the area is ideal for calm family vacations and if you are looking for a family villa to rent in Cephalonia (Kefalonia), then Braunis Horio should be your first and only choice.
Apart from the beautiful white beaches, there is a strong Venetian presence dominating in Assos village: the castle of Assos, built in the late 15th century, was of a significant strategic importance and served as a stronghold of the Venetian army that protected inhabitants from pirate raids. Today, one can see remnants of the wall and other parts of the castle and of course the church of San Marco. Along with the castle of St. George, those two were the most important fortresses of the island and appointed Assos the capital of the north side of Kefalonia Island. One of the highlights of visiting Assos is the superb walks along the old Venetian paths that caress the rugged coastline of the peninsula, weaving their way outside the rustic houses. Braunis Horio villas all boast unobstructed views not only to the shimmering Ionian Sea but also to this amazing Venetian remnant indisputably making them the best Assos villas in Kefalonia.
