Beach overall scores
Paliouras beach (Ioanian Islands) is located outside the Sami 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 easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Paliouras beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This sprawling, unspoiled beach is a hidden gem that can be accessed by car with a bit of determination. Just follow the rugged road to the very end and take a brief 300-meter stroll to reach its sandy shores. While the water may not be crystal clear, it's still a fantastic spot for snorkeling and spearfishing, as the algae provides ample hiding spots for a variety of fish."

"What a hidden treasure! Though we had to traverse a lengthy path and maneuver through a farmer's field, Google Maps provided ample guidance to lead us in the right direction. This beach is perfect for those seeking solace and a piece of their own secluded haven. With only two other individuals present, this spot is highly recommended as a peaceful alternative to the bustling..."

Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Paliouras beach (Kefalonia island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Paliouras beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.
