No one does stunning shores quite like Kefalonia. Powder-white sands, crystal clear waters and lush hills are the usual suspects here. But with such an extensive repertoire, how do you choose which way to turn? By letting us introduce you to the best, of course! Let’s dive in…

Myrtos Beach

Myrtos Beach is the local superstar – with its dazzling bone-white shore and blindingly blue waters, it's a game-changer when it comes to pebble perfection. Not to mention the fact that Mytros is a frequent guest on the lists of top Greek beaches, so prepare to be awestruck by the cinematic cliffs that surround it.

Antisamos Beach

Another great example of Kefalonia’s supreme shores, Antisamos Beach is a must-visit spot whether just for a picture or a full beach day. Proudly flying the Blue Flag, the beach is snuggled by verdant hills and sky-blue waters, so it’s easy to see why its name echoes throughout guides to Greece.

Makris Gialos Beach

Can’t stay still but also fancy a beach day? We’ve got the answer – Makris Gialos Beach. Tick off a list of water sports before flopping on a sunbed where a fruity cocktail will come to you. Or check out the row of cute cabanas, backing the golden sands. Either way, days are never boring at this beach.

Fteri Beach

Kefalonia’s well-kept secret, Fteri Beach is an out-of-this-world sweep that’ll make your jaw drop to the ivory sands. When you lock your eyes on the white cliffs washed by crystalline blue waters, you’ll quickly forget you’re still in Europe and will be swiftly transported to the Caribbean. And it’s easily accessible by a water taxi which is part of the fun too!

XI Beach

Now if plenty of towel space is essential to your perfect beach day, XI Beach is a go. 3km of red-tinged sand makes it stand out from the crowd alone, but if you need some extra incentive, the natural clay here makes a great skin treatment too! Just don't forget the sunscreen – this one's fiery!

Ammes Beach

Ammes Beach is the friendly neighbour to the airport, waving hello with its golden sands and shallow waters. It's the perfect spot to relax before take-off or just after touchdown. Plane-spotting fans will be living the dream!

Foki Beach

Shadowed by olive tree-covered hills, Foki Beach is another lesser-known cove that will invite you to take a refreshing dip. The enchanting scenery deserves to be admired here and your Insta-feed will thank you for it. Fancy a bite? There’s a traditional taverna to grab a Greek treat at too!

Skala Beach

Stretching far and wide, Skala Beach is the one that’ll conquer everyone’s hearts. Active ones will enjoy exploring the underwater life through goggles, beach bums can spend the day laying under the thatched parasols and bars galore will keep everyone happy too. So, slap on that sunscreen, grab your flip-flops and a towel, and you’re ready for Skala Beach!

Lourdas Beach

Nestled at the base of Mount Ainos, Lourdas Beach is the zen master of Kefalonia beaches. With its long stretch of champagne sands and twinkling turquoise waters, it's the go-to spot for those seeking serenity. Do we have time to mention the Blue Flag stamp of approval or are you packing bags already?

Petani Beach

You’ll be swept away by the beauty of Petani Beach long before you toss a towel on its white-as-paper pebbles. As you make your way down the hill to reach this hidden-away beach, soak in the panoramic views of the cliffs that are blanketed in evergreen vegetation. And the aquamarine waters here are like an icing on top…
