The Trapezaki Bay Hotel, Trapezaki
The owners, Nikos and Sofia proudly call their hotel “The Vacationers Paradise”. If you imagine
a cross between Omar Sharif and Charles Bronson, this is Nikos. Always with a smile on his
face, a compliment for the ladies and a chat for the men – he makes his hotel a pleasure to stay
in. Sofia, his dear wife, is the quieter, calmer one but you won’t see her too often as she is the
“behind the scenes” worker and always trying to catch Nikos out, as he tries to sneak a quick
cigarette! A Greek American, Nikos is a fantastic jeweller and hopes one day to make his
dream come true by having his own work on sale in the hotel.
The hotel is not quite six years old and is set at the end of the Trapezaki Road on the hill over
looking the sandy beach, it is less than 10 minutes walk from the beach, where the sand goes
as far as the eye can see , all the way along the coast to the next bay, Lourdas. In the opposite
direction is another stunning Kefalonian beach, Agios Toma (St Thomas).
When you enter the reception lounge, you forget where you are – as gentle music is heard
playing overhead and pale blue sofas invite you to sit down. Large glass windows, with
attractive Austrian style curtains let folds of sunshine wash into the room and sparkle on all the
ornaments that simply adorn the place. The new is mixed with the traditional blends together
surprisingly well.
The hotel has 15 twin rooms on the ground floor (rooms 110 and 109 have double beds, the rest
have two singles) and another 15 twin rooms upstairs. All rooms, whether twin, suite or
deluxe, have hot water available all day, air-conditioning, a small fridge and a hair dryer. The
maid service is daily with sheets and towels changed twice per week. Safety deposit boxes are
available on request and a really thoughtful feature is the courtesy room where you can leave
your luggage if you’re on a later flight, spend the day around the pool, then have a shower, get
changed and be all freshened up before you leave.
The swimming pool also has a Jacuzzi attached and there are plenty of sun beds and umbrellas
for everyone. What you won’t find around this pool are inflatable sharks or rings etc., and you
won’t yourself tripping over snorkels and flippers either, as this is a “child free” hotel.
