The most breathtaking bay in Kefalonia is Myrthos Beach, located on the largest and greenest Ionian Island in Greece. Known as one of the most stunning spots in the Mediterranean, Myrthos Beach features two kilometers of white pebbles and a sea with various shades of blue along the western coast of the island.
There are no buildings here, except for a bar that serves salads with feta and olives, perfect for enjoying while watching an unforgettable sunset. You can easily drive to the beach by taking the road to the village of Assos, which is overlooked by a Venetian Fortress. When you’re ready for a break from the sun and beach, you can head to Fiskardo, a charming fishing village with colorful houses and tavernas that specialize in fish dishes.
For accommodation in Kefalonia, consider staying at Irida, located by the harbor, with room rates between 25 and 30 euros. In Skala, the lovely Hotel Nine Muses offers studio rooms for 140 euros, just steps away from the beach. The island also features mountainous regions, lakes, and stunning caves like Melissani, formed after a rock collapse, and Drogarati, known for its impressive acoustics and vibrant stalagmites and stalactites.
