The Best Beaches in Kefalonia
Myrtos Beach
Perhaps the most iconic beach in all of Greece — a dramatic crescent of brilliant white pebbles set against vivid turquoise waters, framed by towering limestone cliffs. Truly breathtaking.
💡 Arrive early in summer — it gets busy by mid-morning.
Xi Beach
Famous for its striking red sand and shallow, warm waters, Xi is wonderfully calm — ideal for families and those seeking a more relaxed beach day with beach bar facilities nearby.
💡 The red clay cliffs are said to have therapeutic properties.
Makris Gialos Beach
A long, organized beach just south of Argostoli with fine golden sand, crystal-clear water and excellent facilities. One of the most accessible and well-equipped beaches on the island.
💡 Perfect for a full day out — sunbeds, watersports and restaurants all on hand.
Antisamos Beach
A secluded pebble beach set in a stunning natural bay, surrounded by lush green hills. Made famous by the film 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin'. The water here is an extraordinary shade of blue.
💡 The winding drive down is part of the experience — take it slowly and enjoy the views.
Fteri Beach
One of Kefalonia's best-kept secrets — an utterly wild and unspoiled beach accessible only by boat or a challenging hike. Towering white cliffs, powder-white pebbles and electric turquoise water make this one of the most spectacular beaches in all of Greece.
💡 Best reached on a boat excursion from Argostoli or Lixouri — well worth the journey.
Avithos Beach
A beautiful, partly organised sandy beach tucked beneath verdant green hills and dramatic white cliffs. With its golden sand and brilliant turquoise water, Avithos is one of the closest quality beaches to the villa — perfect for a spontaneous afternoon swim.
💡 One of the nearest beaches to the villa — great for a quick, easy beach day with sunbeds and umbrellas available.
Pessada Beach
A hidden gem on the south coast, Pessada is a peaceful, unspoiled cove framed by dramatic limestone cliffs and crystal-clear turquoise water. Far quieter than the island's more famous beaches, it rewards those who seek it out with a truly serene escape.
💡 One of the closest beaches to the villa — perfect for a quiet morning swim away from the crowds.
