Kefalonia - Beaches

Crystal clear waters, deep blue, blue-green, as they mirror the green nature... This is what you will find at whichever beach in Kefalonia you choose for your dives and to enjoy your swim! The more centrally located ones are organized with sun beds and parasols, but you will find numerous beaches, equally beautiful, without, however, the human intervention, such as Koutsoupia in eastern Kefalonia - to reach it you have to take the path Antisamos - Poros.

One of the most famous beaches in the world, Myrtos, is located on the west side of Kefalonia. It belongs to Pylaros and is very close to Assos. With many awards - and not without reason, as you will see for yourself just from gazing at it from above.
