Just 3 km from Argostoli’s center, in the area of Lassi, there are two of the most beautiful and fashionable beaches of Kefalonia, Makris and Platis Gialos. They are sandy beaches, without rocks or pebbles and crystal-clear waters.
Makris Gialos is a quite long beach (which was, perhaps, the main reason for its name) but is located at such a point so as to be kept clean all year round. It is one of the basic tourist attractions, since it constitutes one of the most organized beaches in Kefalonia. It has a beach bar-restaurant, water sports and of course a lifeguard.
