Argostoli, Assos, Lixouri, Poros, Sami and Fiskardo are the most favoured touristy spots. These villages of Kefalonia island have well developed tourism infrastructure to support the large number of summer tourists. On the northern side of the island, there is the beach of Myrtos, the most photographed spot of Kefalonia. Its breathtaking beauty has been described by many as a "piece of heaven", a golden sandy beach surrounded by green, steep cliffs. Many beach bars have opened above the bay of Myrtos and provide gorgeous view to the island.
 Another popular resort in Kefalonia island is Lassi, the most frequented spot close to Argostoli, the capital town of Kefalonia. The beaches of Makris Gialos and Platis Gialos around Lassi are clean and beautiful. In fact, they have been awarded the Blue Flag for their cleanness, like many other beaches on the island. Family friendly and with many tourist facilities, the water is shallow in these two beaches and it is perfect for children to play there.
Another amazing beach in Kefalonia island is Antisamos, on the north eastern side of the island. With golden soft sand, clean water and an amazing green landscape, Antisamos became famous mostly when scenes from the Hollywood film "Captain Corelli's Mandolin” were filmed there. Antisamos beach is close to the lake caves of Melissani and Drogarati, two amazing miracles of nature.
 However, do not think that Kefalonia island is all about crowded beaches and tourist resorts. It is the opposite, in fact. There are some hot spots that get frequented in summer, but the rest of the island is untouched by tourism. Although this is one of the most popular islands in Greece, its large size can provide numerous small coves to relax and enjoy some privacy. If you drive around the island or make a tour by boat, you will discover plenty of these small, beautiful places to relax and enjoy your hot summer days. |
