Our top 5 reasons to visit Kefalonia:

1. Sensational beaches

secluded, with many awarded the Blue Flag and some with watersports. Popular Makris Gialos
has golden sand. Myrtos is famous but can be dangerous when rough. Antisammos is popular
and pebbly and Skala perfect for families. Lourdas is calm with white sand while Spartia doesn’t get busy. There is even a waterpark at Kounopetra.

upmarket, beautiful and very busy harbour village. Skala is one of the liveliest spots on the island with its sunset cocktail bars and music clubs. Explore the ruins of its 3rd century Roman villa.
