"We had our wedding reception at Oddy’s and it was absolutely perfect. Nothing was too much trouble and Oddy made us and our guests feel so special on the day. The venue was perfect right on the beach and the food was absolutely spectacular! Couldn’t recommend this place enough and we can’t wait to go back!"

"Absolutely delicious food, probably the best chicken souvlaki in Kefalonia, if not the world, set in stunning surroundings overlooking a secluded beach and bay. Odysseas is a real character and will ensure that everything is perfect"

"A hidden gem by Jerusalem Beach. We enjoyed a selection of dishes, all of which were excellent. The fried prawns were outstanding, and the homemade bread with tzatziki is a must. Service was friendly and efficient, and the seafront setting made the atmosphere unforgettable. Highly recommended."

Kefalonia, Griekenland - vegan eten en de mooiste stranden
Gelegen aan één van de mooiste stranden (vind ik), Jerusalem Beach, ligt Odysseas Taverna. Dit restaurant wordt gerund door een familie en is zeker de moeite waard om vanuit Fiscardo te bezoeken. Je zit heel idyllisch onder de bomen.
