I am a professional chef born on the island of Kefalonia and I am the second generation at Kanakis Apartments. With many years of experience in fine dining restaurants and luxury hotels around the world, I returned to host Kanakis guests and cook for them on my island, showcasing every raw material of Kefalonia. With respect for nature and a focus on sustainability, my clear goal is to make Kanakis visitors as passionate as I am about hospitality and local gastronomy. My philosophy is based on Greek hospitality, and my main goal is to create unforgettable memories, unique moments, and wide smiles.

The most beautiful stories to tell are almost always born by chance and often have magical, enchanted, and timeless places as their setting. This story, which tells of the Kanakis family, begins within the pomegranate tree and the walls of a farmhouse where time passes slowly, intertwined with history and nature, amidst the scents and traditions of an island that is always lush and welcoming. Against the backdrop of this evocative natural setting that has seduced artists and inspired poets stands Kanakis, a legendary stay in Assos—the ideal place to unplug, take off your watch, and enjoy a flâneur holiday at a slow pace, without commitments or plans. All the charm of a luxury holiday marked by simple and authentic pleasures, from a romantic aperitif against the backdrop of a rosy sunset to moments of pure well-being.

Assos attracts visitors with its lush forests, turquoise waters, colorful homes, and vibrant flowering foliage. The natural beauty of Assos is immediately evident with its traditional architecture, peaceful landscape, and beautiful surrounding pebbled beaches. A little wander around the narrow alleys reveals colorful houses with blooming bougainvillea, charming paths, and old churches. Visiting the castle requires a long uphill walk through olive tree forests until you reach an archway. It is idyllic here, perfect if you want to embrace slow travel and truly enjoy time in nature.
