We had a relaxing and very enjoyable stay at Aunties Cottage. It is a lovely, spotlessly clean, well equipped and maintained cottage near the centre of the village. It was a joy to sit on the shady terrace looking out to Agia Efimia and the sea. Sophia, the owner, is very helpful and friendly, without being intrusive, and invites suggestions for any possible improvements, though she seems to have thought of most things. The welcome pack - including eggs, fruit, bread, wine - was much appreciated. Makriotika is generally quiet, but there is some life in the evenings around the two tavernas in the nearby square. It is only about 5 minutes to the pleasant seaside village of Agia Efimia, which has all necessary facilities, including a number of restaurants, and is a good base for visiting the northern and central areas of Kefalonia.
