Just 4 km from Argostoli there are three beaches with crystal clear waters. Near the airport of the island, these beaches are preferred by a lot of tourists.
The first is a beach where you can swim comfortably and relax in the sand with your children. The other two beaches are quiet but unorganized and preferred by those who avoid the crowd.
Along the coast from Sami towards Agia Eufemia one can find several bays for swimming; first and largest of them is the beach of Agia Paraskevi.
White pebbles and crystal clear emerald waters await the visitors once they get off the few stairs.
The beach is right next to the road which joins Sami and Agia Euphemia.
Near the port of Poros under the square of the village, there is a large beautiful beach with sand, deckchairs and umbrellas. Bars and restaurants can meet the requirements of swimmers and their tastes.
If you have selected the port of Poros to disembark, you can make a dive in these crystal clear waters and then continue to your destination.
Spartia beach is known for its warm shallow waters and is ideal for families. The rocks that are there attract fans of fishing, but also those who love diving from the rocks. The beach is two kilometers from the village next to the picturesque harbor.
The beach is not highly exploited like others on the island, but it is picturesque and you can enjoy a quiet swim in peace and enjoy food at beautiful small taverns.
The Koutsoupia Beach is a tropical beach and relatively unknown to the average visitor of Kefalonia.
Located in a remote spot along the coast of Poros – Sami and is accessible only by sea. If you make a day trip with from Poros or Skala, you will definitely make a stop there.
The area is suitable for snorkeling since it is relatively unspoilt.
Near the village Thiramonas shortly after Lourdata village there is the beach of Koroni. The sandy beach is ideal for those who prefer to enjoy swimming in calm and quiet blue waters.
The beach is a refuge of the turtle caretta-caretta. The beach Koroni is not organized so it is preferable to be provided with water and food before your visit it.

The beach became famous through the movie “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin” with the name “Pelagia Beach”. The beach was used in the film poster and in the first scene of the movie.
You will find the beach going from Komitata to Agia Sofia. The road is paved until the intersection for Chorgota (to your right, about 6.5km from Komitata, in the middle of a small straight), then continues an unpaved road for only 900 meters.
The Chorgota is paved with pebbles and has clear waters. It is not an organized beach. From the beach you have a very good view of Ithaca.
Along the east coastline, between Agia Eufemia and Fiskardo one can find several bays for swimming though most of them are not accessible from the mainland, but only by boat.
The Agia Sofia Beach is easily accessible from the mainland by a paved road from the village Komitata. From there, the beach is around 8km.
The scenery is absolutely beautiful. In the middle of the beach lies an old fishermans house which nowadays is uninhabited. Do not expect a huge beach, umbrellas or any other luxuries.
It is a bay for relaxing, mainly preferred by visitors coming with a boat.
The beach of Agia (Saint) Jerusalem is very close to Fiskardo, in a small creek divided into two smaller ones by a big rock.
The intersection for the beach is located on the main road between Argostoli and Fiskardo in the settlement of Maganos. The road is paved.
It is organized with sunbeds, umbrellas and you will also find a traditional tavern there.
The beach was named after the small ruined chapel standings on the side of the beach. The crystal clear waters are the home to many seahorses. The sunsets on this beach are spectacular.
The Foki Beach is just next to Fiskardo, therefore it is easy accessible by walking.
The name comes from the frequent appearance of the monk seal (Fokia in Greek) Monachus Monachus.
The popularity of this beach comes mainly because of the beautiful location, since the beach is mainly covered by big pebbles and rocks. Several trees are covering the beach, offering nice shade. The water is perfectly safe for swimming because the waters are quite shallow, but the beach is quite small and usually has a lot of people and several vessels in the bay.
To the right there is a path that leads to flat rocks, the best place for swimming and sunbathing.
