In my opinion, this beach is one of the finest on the island. The water is stunningly clear and turquoise, and the majority of the shore is covered in small pebbles. Although there are some areas with larger rocks that can be a bit slippery, overall it's a great spot. Additionally, the beach is easily accessible.

The beach is stunning and has several bars and taverns nearby. There are plenty of amenities, including a beach shower and ample space to relax. The beach is composed of fine gravel with a sprinkling of sand, and you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas if you wish. Parking is available by the beach for a reasonable fee of 5 euros for the entire day.

This Kefalonia beach is truly stunning and can be easily accessed. It's not as popular as some of the other beaches, like Myrtos, so it's not as crowded. We visited in early June and had a great time. We even walked here as part of a day hike and enjoyed lunch on the beach. However, if you prefer to drive, there is parking available. The water is crystal clear and the beach is well-maintained with options for renting sun loungers and umbrellas.
