We left cairns so just follow them down to the water. Awesome beach.

Sisia beach

The beach is incredibly spacious and stunning, offering breathtaking sunsets. However, accessing it can be challenging, especially during scorching weather, making it more suitable for those who are physically fit.

Skala beach
8 Lirien Zaldivar

This beach was great! It may not be the most picturesque in Kefalonia, but it was very tranquil even in the peak of August. There were always plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas to take a break from the sun. The water was warm and crystal clear, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. 💕

Lourdas beach
8 Zasabi

This charming little beach boasts a unique rocky terrain that adds to its natural appeal. The water is absolutely delightful, inviting visitors to take a refreshing dip. While it may not be our top pick, the beach offers plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the scenery.

Cronidis beach
10 Max Rivers

The beach offers convenient roadside parking, and the water is crystal clear, making it perfect for snorkeling. Although the beach is pebbly and can get quite hot, it's worth enduring the heat for the stunning views and unparalleled snorkeling experience. It's important to note that there are no amenities available, so it's best to come prepared with everything you'll need. Despite being only a short 10-minute drive from Skala, the beach remains relatively empty even during peak season, providing a peaceful and serene atmosphere for visitors.
