Beaches

Just 2km from the village of Angon and 18km from Argostoli one will find the beach of Agia Kyriaki. You will find related signs to this beach either from the village Angon or the settlement Zola.

The beach is sandy, with tourqousie waters. Close to it one can find a canteen, some fish restaurants and other dining facilities.

On the side of Agia Kyriaki Beach you will also find a small harbor with several local fisher boats and motorboats which you can rent for a nice sea ride.

Right next to the beach of Agia Kyriaki is another beautiful beach, the Bouti Beach. Bouti Beach is accessible from the village of Zola with a relatively good unpaved road.

The natural extension of Makris Gialos is the Beach of Platis Gialos (Wide Beach).

They are separated only by a few rocks. As a result it is possible to pass from one beach to another, by either walking or swimming.
The characteristics are very similar to those of the Makris Gialos Beach.

We surely suggest you visit them both at the same day.

Dafnoudi Beach is a hidden beach at the northernmost tip of Kefalonia.
Leave your car just after the junction of Antipata (there is a road sign, just before Fiskardo) and you see a path (600m) going through a cypress forest, which leads to the beach.

The beach is a haven for the monk seals Monachus Monachus. If you are lucky you may come across one. The beach is pebbly, the waters calm and the colours vary from blue to green.

In Dafnoudi you will find a cave with a small beach; perfect for most romantic couples.

Alaties Beach (Salty Beach) is a fairly hidden and thus unknown beach, located in northwest of Kefalonia.
The intersection for Alaties Beach is located on the main road from Argostoli to Fiskardo, in the settlement of Maganos.

This small beach is surrounded by cliffs, which many people use to dive into the crystal clear waters. Its name comes from the small hollows of the rocks, on which the sea salt has dried on.

The sea ground is just fabulous. Continuous diving is not recommended though, because of the strong commended sea currents.

Enjoy this wonderful beach with snacks and drinks from the nearby Tavern.

Within walking distance from the Argostoli lies the beach Makris Gialos (Long Beach).
As the name states, it is truely a very long and sandy beach with no rocks or pebbles.

The beach has a beach bar, restaurant and provides the opportunity for various water sport activities.

As expected, Makris Gialos Beach is awarded each year with the blue flag of the National Tourist Organisation.

The Platia Ammos Beach is one of the few beaches in Kefalonia where one might not meet many people.

It’s a long sandy beach with common charecteristics of Myrtos Beach. It is located in the peninsula of Paliki, shortly after the Monastery Kipouraion.

A few years ago, the access to the beach was only possible by boat. Nowadays, a road leads to the cliffs above the beach.
The only thing blocking your way are the 400 stairs down to the beach; which of course one has to climb again back.

Note:
Visitors might not have any mobile cellphone signal.

“ePiETANI” is a word of Homer, meaning an area with abundant water throughout the year.

Petani Beach is another well-known beach of Kefalonia awarded with a blue flag. The Petani Beach consists of fine white fine pebbles and crystal clear turquoise waters.

The path to the beach itself is unique. Following the route Lixouri – Monopolata, Agia Thekli, Vilatoria and approaching the beach you will be amazed by the uniqueness and the beauty of the landscape. The beach is fully organized with canteen, restaurant and sunbeds.

If you can stay until late you will be awarded with a sunset through the mountains.

Antisamos Beach is one more beach of Kefalonia, which has been awarded with the blue flag.
It’s a beach with small pebbles, located a few kilometers from the port of Sami.

Another beautiful beach with warm and shallow waters in southern Kefalonia awaits you.

Kaminia Beach is located near the village of Ratzakli and is visible and accessible through the road to/from Skala.
