Kefalonia Antisamos 01
Antisamos Kefalonia: Antisamos beach is without a doubt one of the best beaches in Kefalonia. It is located 27km from Argostoli, the capital of the island, and close to the port village of Sami. Antisamos distinguishes for the turquoise waters and the white small pebbles. It is surrounded by a green hills and vast vegetation reaching the edges of the shore.

A beach like this could be nothing but well-organized with umbrellas and sundecks. The magnificent green scenery creates a relaxing atmosphere that captivates visitors. The beach has gained worldwide reputation from the Hollywood movie "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", where some of the scenes were filmed here. To access Antisamos follow the main road right to Sami.

Our Impressions

The beach is one of the island's best and can be admired from the headland before a sharp descent by road. It featured in the book that has done much for the island’s fame and there’s a café here called ‘Captain Corelli’s’. Nearby goats run wild and on the beach itself the clean white pebbles sit above beautiful clear water. Behind the hill rises high above sunseekers with a mass of pines covering the area. Sunloungers cover a smallish area near the entrance of the beach but there is little to detach from its beauty.
The monastery of Agrilion stands high above the beach and offers excellent views. You can see down to the beach and over to the direction of Sami. A church stands tall here and there is also a dilapidated tower. The monastery itself is orange tiled and very well kept. Nearby three bells hang from a piece of wood attached to a tree.

The beach is definitely worth a visit and journeying by road the monastery is just a short detour. The latter also offers awe inspiring views.
