Tourist Boutique Hotel

On the beautiful pebble beach of Argostoli in Kefalonia with the impressive palm trees and the wonderful Caretta Caretta turtles that are there daily and enjoyed by locals and visitors, is the traditional Tourist Boutique Hotel, ready to welcome the visitors of the island all year round for holidays but also for their business trips.

The Tourist Boutique Hotel Kefalonia (TOURIST hotel) is 5 minutes from the main square and next to the pedestrian street, the historic "Lithostroto", where all the cafes and shops of the city are located, while the view of its balconies rests on the calm "lagoon" of Koutavos and the historic De Bosset bridge or Devoseto bridge or for the common people the "Pontes" which is the largest stone bridge in Europe with a length of 689,9 meters.

What made the Tourist Boutique Hotel stand out, of all the other hotels, it was not so much the beautiful view and its privileged position, the constant renovations in its facilities, its services such as satellite TV, high speed wireless WIFI Internet, but the Greek breakfast.

Η Konstantina Charitou, the creator of one of the most attractive mornings in Greece, was the first to adopt the Greek Breakfast - the program of the Hotel Chamber of Greece aimed at enriching Greek hotels with local cuisines - in Kefalonia, and since then her hotel has been identified with it .

"I started and my goal was to include all the gastronomic wealth of Kefalonia in breakfast. Until then the breakfasts provided by the hotels were American breakfast and continental breakfast. In this way I would present to our foreign visitors the richness of Greek gastronomy.

Products such as pastries, oil, olives, yogurt, honey, pastries, jams, cheeses, cold cuts, pies, fruits, pastries, drinks, were on my daily buffet. The presentation in traditional utensils, screens, the lantern that was used as a refrigerator in the old days, made the breakfast impressive! I had already entered the kitchen myself. Good morning it seems!

Breakfast every day was a celebration! Customers not only responded but were thrilled with my innovative move. This resulted in the breakfast rising and the reputation of the hotel very high. The better breakfast you have the more you upgrade your services. If a stranger enjoys breakfast he will write it on the website, make a comment and it will be a huge promotion of the hotel. The Kefalonian breakfast is now a fact!".

In Kefalonia five years ago, I met my best student who put on my glasses, because apart from the great variety of local dishes, the presentation was very discreet and reminiscent of manorial hospitality:

The strapatsades and the meat pie, for the fanatics who want from the morning to be fascinated with strong flavors. Rice milk and lemon creams to soften the stomach. Honeycomb of local honey to sweeten your day. Cheeses of all kinds from Kefalonia but also from opposite Ithaca. Bakery products, cookies, village breads of all kinds.

And in all this, accompanied by the courtesy and hospitality of the hostess Konstantina Charitou, who waits to satisfy every gastronomic desire.

In Kefalonia, Hellenic Breakfast found one of its best ambassadors.
