We invite you to close your eyes as we joyfully take a mental journey back to where our history began. The 1979 image of the kitchen brings to mind an old Greek movie. Kefalonia was then a place far removed from the vast reaches of today’s tourism and also from the spread of traditional Kefalonian cuisine. It was at that time that the Kalafati family, the brothers Aristides and Gerassimos, became pioneers of these ideas in the restaurant business.

43 years later, the Magdalinos family has the honour of keeping this traditional character alive, and of putting its own stamp on its heritage, bringing the secrets and gastronomical treasures of our island to your plate.

Makris Yialos is an exotic location with a unique view towards the setting sun. A balcony onto the Ionian where you can gaze at the infinite blue of Greece. Along with a beauty consistent with the picturesqueness of our island, our guests can enjoy a multitude of amenities and excellent service. We provide easily accessible private parking and a beach with available sunbeds and umbrellas. A patch of land, a patch of sea, lavish tables and the call of traditional serenades on a summer evening.

The menu accommodates all tastes and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a guarantee of fresh ingredients, and of affordable prices.

We are committed to making your stay on our beautiful island unforgettable and we will look forward to welcoming you back.

Everything you need for a perfect day by the shore, all in one place.
