The beach was truly breathtaking, and I can only fathom how incredible it must be during the summer months. Despite visiting in November, we still had a blast. We took a swim just before a storm rolled in and were pleasantly surprised by the water's warmth - it was nearly as balmy as the Caribbean! The waves were quite sizable, and we had a blast getting knocked off our feet. While some folks were surfing, we were content to simply soak up the beauty of the surroundings.
This beach has a delightful array of pebbles, with a sandy patch just a few steps into the sea. For those who prefer a more serene atmosphere, this is the ideal location to bask in the sun's rays. The cost of an umbrella set is €7.
Lourdata boasts a vast expanse of coastline, providing ample room for your personal beach gear. Additionally, there are sun loungers available for rent. Conveniently, parking is available both at the beach and on nearby streets. Though shallow water is not abundant, the beach is still suitable for children and those who prefer a more secluded atmosphere.
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.
As I spent more time soaking up the sun on Lourdata beach, I found myself falling in love with its charm. While it may not boast the crystal-clear waters of some of the other beaches on Kefalonia, its long and narrow stretch of sand exudes a laid-back and traditional vibe that is hard to resist. The beachfront is dotted with a variety of bars and restaurants, and it was easy to see that many visitors were happily enjoying a drink or meal there. For those feeling adventurous, a 40-minute walk along the beach will lead you to the Sissia old monastery, a fascinating site where ruins are being restored and worked on. Parking is plentiful and easy to find, though the steep hill leading down to the beach may prove challenging for some. But with its unique blend of natural beauty and traditional charm, Lourdata beach is definitely worth a visit.
