Marina Anna is a small, simple, but delightful property with lovely views. We (Steve & Jackie) stayed in the main building and our room (#7 ground floor) was spacious and well equipped. As others have said, Tonia is an amazing hostess – nothing is too much trouble. She offers plenty of advice and assistance and looks after her guests well. Her two daughters, who staff the pool bar, are friendly and helpful too. The pool bar serves drinks and snacks throughout the day, and you can run a tab, but note that you must settle in cash. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Marina Anna Studios. There is a Piraeus ATM in Lourdas, a 20 minute walk. It charges less than the Eurobank ATMs which are everywhere, but expensive. The area is not well served for buses – one into Argostoli at 9:00am and back at 1:45pm, €2 each way. There are buses from Argostoli down to Poros, Sami and Skala, and up to Fiskardo, but the connections do not work. Taxis are reasonable but most are in the capital, so may take a while to arrive - €25 to Argostoli and €10 local places such as the beach and Lourdas. But agree the rate at the start, especially in the capital, as they may try to charge more and are not metered. The Tui Premier Kefalonia Tour is well worth going on, but be aware that if you chose the closest pickup, Galini Apartments, they will expect you at Hotel Galini in Poros! Choose Aristomenis Studios, give Tonia the booking reference, and she will arrange a pickup from Marina Anna! The beach is an easy walk down, but a steep hill up (15 mins). There are only a few umbrellas and little shade, but Tonia may be able to provide an umbrella left by other guests, or they can be purchased cheaply at the supermarket – but remember, you will need to carry it back up that hill! The supermarket is 200m away and again, 100m of this up a steep hill. Two restaurants are next door and open at 6pm, and Boho Café offers excellent crepes and waffles until 5pm. Further afield are Enastron (15 min flat walk), Stamna by the supermarket and several at Lourdas (15 to 20 minutes), again up a steep hill! All are very good.
