Beach overall scores
White Rocks (Ioanian Islands) is located outside the Kompothekrata 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 White Rocks, 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
"This shoreline boasts of white boulders and can only be reached by boat. The sun is at its peak from around noon, making it the perfect time to soak in the warmth. If you happen to be visiting Cephalonia, I highly recommend a stop at this beach. You can even hop aboard the Boat Lady O for a fantastic experience."
Nikolas Katsaros
"The beach is nothing special, and it's not worth the hassle of organizing a private charter. Even if you do manage to get there, the only activity available is kayaking, which quickly becomes monotonous. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time and money on this overhyped destination."
