Kefalonia Beaches - Which Greek Island

Katelios

Katelios beach is mainly shingle with some stone and sand in places, particularly at the waters edge. It doen’t have the wealth of tourist facilities that you would find on the main Kefalonia beaches so it’s a welcome change to some but disappointing to others.

Vrachinari

Vrachinari beach is usually pretty deserted, there are a handful of sun loungers and a taverna at the rear of the beach, the sea stays shallow making it decent for kids but there are some rocks around the entrance to the sea and at either end of the beach so not ideal.

Makris Gialos

Makris Gialos beach is a short walk from the main road in Lassi. Being close to one of the most popular tourist resorts, the shallow waters, golden sand and excellent facilities including sun loungers and water sports make it a very popular beach.

Minies

Minies beach, sometimes also known as Minia beach is a natural sandy beach found on the west coast of Kefalonia close to the northern end of the airport. Minies beach is ideal for children due to the soft golden sand and the shallow clear water.

Myrtos

Myrtos beach is that stunning picture post card beach that you’ve seen photographed from the winding roads above dozens of times and probably part of the reason why so many people want to go to Kefalonia. Myrtos is towards the north but on the west coast.

Petani

Petani Beach is a sandy bay with pebbles around the shore line. It’s located on the west cost of Kefalonia, just north of Lixouri. It has a good number of sun loungers to hire mainly clustered around the beach side tavernas.

Platis Gialos

Platis Gialos beach is a continuation of Makris Gialos beach and just under a kilometre from Lassi. Platis Gialos is set in a gorgeous bay, surrounded by pine trees, sheer rock faces and vegetation, it has beautiful soft golden sand and transparent water.

Poros

Poros beach is a calm and pretty bay on the east coast with pebbels and shingles underfoot and crystal clear water. It's on the edge of Poros village and has sun loungers to hire, it's narrow and although not normally too bad it can feel busy at peak times.

Ammes

Ammes beach is in the south western part of Kefalonia, in the Svoronata area, right at the end of the airport runway. The sand slopes steeply before getting to the water line but then remains shallow for some distance out making it good for youngsters.

Skala

Skala is a massive beach that is both long and deep, it's surrounded by Pine trees and is mainly sand and shingle. There are a few tavernas along this stretch of coast to get food and drink during the long days spent taking in the gorgeous weather.
