Beach overall scores
Xylokaravo beach (Ioanian Islands) is located outside the Evreti settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Kefalonia island and the correct question is not how to get to Xylokaravo beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The beach is open to the public for free, and it's a great spot to catch the sunset. Don't miss the goats coming down from the mountain to feed, and keep your ears open for the sound of their bells."

"Xylokaravo beach is a great spot to visit, and the best part is that it's free for the public to enter. It was built during a boat trip in the bay."
