BEACH BOUND
The big blue challenge
KEFALONIA
Xi
Kefalonia is fringed by some of the most impressive beaches in the Ionian Sea. Sheer cliffs plunge to sun-bleached coves, kissed by waters in unfathomable shades of blue. Even in August it’s impossible not to be able to claim a towel-sized patch of sand.
Foki Bay
Makris Gyalos & Platis Gyalos
Xi
Makris Gyalos & Platis Gyalos / The locals of Argostoli always choose it when it comes to diving, playing with waves, sunbathing and going wild at its famous beach bars.
Antisamos / Pebbled beach featuring every possible shade of green and blue. Its choice as a setting for “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin” didn’t happen by chance.
Petani / One more mythical beach on the island, often compared to Myrtos, nestled into the lush vegetation, with white pebbles and crystalline waters in all shades of blue.
Emblisi / Sheltered and deep with pebbles on the shore and sand on the seabed. Ideal for diving, sunbathing on the flat rocks, and snorkeling into the crystal-clear waters.
