Kefalonia Porto Atheras beach

General information

The shore of Porto Atheras is considered one of the most peaceful and family-friendly beaches on the island. It's the small quay and coast of the beautiful nearby village of Atheras.

The beach is attractive to swimmers due to its morphology, located on a protected bay, which makes it relatively easy and safe to swim in. The clean and shallow waters are very calm and a little warmer than the other ones on the island, making it ideal for families to visit. It is a sandy beach encompassed by luscious nature. The juxtaposition of the deep green surrounding environment with the clear azure waters is breathtaking.

It is not organized and does not have any natural shade, so visitors may need to bring an umbrella with them. However, few taverns are available on the coast, offering food and drinks. It is easily accessible by car from the village of Atheras.

Hiking lovers will be happy to find out that they can explore the nearby area since there are many paths surrounding the area. They can also take the trail to end up at Ammidi, a very small and secluded hidden gem of the island. While there, don't forget to visit the nearby Saint Spyridon church with its distinctive blue color!
