Kefalonia is famous for its thick, green canopy of oleander, oak and fir trees, its picturesque seaside villages of Fiskardo and Assos, and the surreal beauty of the Melissani Cave.
But there’s no doubt that your holidays on the largest Ionian Island will revolve around its awesome beaches. Kefalonia has some of the best in Greece, with the likes of Myrtos regularly cracking top lists worldwide for their crystal-clear, blue-green water and dramatic settings.
There are so many, in fact, that choosing one can seem daunting. Some are long and sandy, others have crunchy, fine pebbles; some are fully organised with facilities and tavernas and others are totally remote; and some are easy to get to and others more challenging.
So we’ve done the hard bit for you and gone looking for the best beaches in Kefalonia.
All you have to worry about is deciding what kind of beach day you’re after.
