Best beaches in Kefalonia

Kefalonia is the largest Greece’s Ionian Islands and features some of the best beaches in Greece. It’s a sun worshipers paradise!

The best beach has to arguably be Myrtos beach, which has been voted so by visitors consistently for the past few years. In fact, it has been voted within the top 5 beaches in the world.

PESSADA BEACH

Where? – Situated on the south coast of Kefalonia, 8 miles south-east of the capital Argostoli and just 5 miles from the airport.

Why? – An intimate stretch of sandy beach with rocks and steps leading down to the water. A good collection of secluded coves and crystal clear water provides excellent snorkelling.

LEPEDA BEACH

Where? – Situated less than two kilometres south of Lixouri. It’s a red sandy beach about 100 metres long.

XI BEACH

Where? – Located in the area south of Fiskardo at the southern end of Paliki peninsula.

AVITHOS BEACH
