Our Impressions:
A fabulous beach but also so popular it can be hard to find space. This is not one of the sporty beaches but the perfect place to sunbathe.
This beach of Porto Katsiki is a lot busier than nearby Egremeni and this is a lot easier to access. Indeed there is only 50 steps down to this beach as opposed to the 350 odd of Egremeni. There is a sizeable car parking area after the descent from the main road. Next to here are the beach shops along with a fair few bars and restaurants. Taking the trip down the aforementioned steps one can turn left or right. Both are beautiful bays with rocks sitting slightly out in the beautiful water. The beach is of medium size and you can sit right up against the rock face. The craggy front provides some shade from the sun in places which is helpful because the beach is a suntrap. From the sea you can look up at the face and notice the streaks of orange that run down it.

Cape Lefkata is at the end of the southwestern promontory. It is still a bit of a journey from Porto Katsiki on a road that progressively worsens. Finally you reach the imposing lighthouse at the end and can enjoy the view of Kefallonia.
The worth of a journey to the lighthouse is debatable. You can enjoy the views without journeying the final 4km of dusty road.
Useful Info :
- Where to eat/drink: Place above the beach.
- Shops/Minimarket: At the top of the steps
