Beach overall scores
Lefka beach (Ioanian Islands) is located outside the Platies 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 Lefka 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 scenery of this shoreline is truly magnificent, however, it should be noted that it is not the renowned Koroni beach. The path leading to this beach can only be accessed with a 4x4 vehicle, and it has been reported that the road was closed at one point. It is strongly advised that individuals do not attempt to travel to this beach with a standard car."

"The beach is massive and cannot be reached by car, but it has free public entry."
