A Paradise with Crystal-clear Shores
From bustling organised beaches to quiet, hidden coves, Kefalonia is celebrated worldwide for its striking coastal landscape .
Start with Myrtos, one of the most photographed beaches in Greece, where white pebbles and deep turquoise waters create a natural canvas of unrivalled beauty. Petani, with its steep cliffs and sunset views over the western horizon, strongly recalls Myrtos.
On the eastern coast, Antisamos, near Sami, is a bay where lush greenery blends with countless shades of blue, creating a spectacular visual scene.
If you are looking for something truly distinctive, further south, Xi Beach is the ideal destination. With its characteristic reddish sand and clay cliffs, it offers the chance for natural clay therapy right by the waves.
Continue your exploration to quieter retreats, such as Koroni Beach near Lourdas. It has calm waters and is an important habitat for the sea turtle Caretta caretta. Likewise, Foki, a short distance from cosmopolitan Fiskardo, offers tranquillity beneath the trees, taking its name from the Monachus monachus seals that are often seen in the area.
For shores with natural shade, seek out Dafnoudi, Fteri, Chorgota, Emplisi and Atheras. In their unspoilt landscapes, enjoy moments of peace and relaxation away from the crowds.
Makrys and Platis Gialos, near Argostoli, offer shallow waters and excellent facilities, while Skala is ideal for families and water sports.
From organised beaches such as Avythos in Leivatho to steep and secluded spots such as Paradisi and Platia Ammos, Kefalonia remains a destination of many choices.
