#  Lourdas

**Lourdas Beach in Kefalonia**: Lourdas is a quaint coastal settlement located 16.7 km southeast of Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia. The settlement stands on the hillside overlooking the blue sea. It is quite popular for its well-organized beach where many visitors enjoy a refreshing swim, right after their arrival to the village. The beach is surrounded by a green landscape with thick vegetation and beautiful waterfalls running through the mountains.

The combination of the crystalline waters and stunning mountain backdrop of [Mount Ainos](https://www.greeka.com/ionian/kefalonia/sightseeing/mount-ainos/) provides a dream scenery that captivates all visitors. The beach is covered with white sand and sunbeds and umbrellas.
Not far from the coast lies the [Monastery of Sissia](https://www.greeka.com/ionian/kefalonia/sightseeing/sissia-monastery/).

Right above lies a main road filled with restaurants, cafes, local shops and other modern amenities. The beach is easily accessed by public buses from Argostoli and other villages.
