Our far-flung correspondent Monica Guy has once again slapped together a guide to a place we have only dreamed about visiting. This time, she's summing up various hotels in Greece. Got a tip, question or suggestion about where to stay? Send it our way.

Odysseus made the Ionian island of Ithaki famous - it was his home town, says Homer - but it was the rather lesser hero Captain Corelli who put its huge neighbour Kefalonia (Cephallonia) on the modern-day map.

Avoid the capital Argostoli and head straight for Fiskardo, the only town in Kefalonia saved by the gods in the 1953 earthquake and now a sparky sailing and fishing port lined with Venetian-style houses.

And when you get there, follow the signs to the Emelisse Hotel for the ultimate in Greek-sunshine luxury.
