OSCAR SUGGESTIONS FOR BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN LASSI ARGOSTOLI KEFALONIA

There are many beaches to cater for all tastes and interests. Some are very easy to reach, others less so. Remember, with all the beaches-they are ephemeral, even the larger beaches can vary in size and shape from one year to the next, season to season.

Near Argostoli, the Lassi area, look for (Makris Yialos, Platis Yialos, Gradakia and Palio Stafida). The Fanari area has Kalamia beach and a number of smaller inlets and bays following the road towards Argostoli.

From Argostoli to the N there is Aghia Kiriakis (the best road down is from Angona). Myrtos is famous for its beauty, but, beware when a wind is blowing and there are waves, the undercurrent is very dangerous to the unwary. Near by is Assos, very pretty. Fiscardo has Emblisi and Foki. S from here, near to Komitata can be found Horgota and Aghia Sofia. Aghia Efimia has small, pebble beaches to the NE of the village. Along the roadside towards Sami are also many small beaches, mainly pebbles, the largest called Aghia Paraskevis. The best beach near to Sami is Antisamos.

S we come to Poros and Skala. Both places offer good swimming from the town beaches, also from the roadside S. of Poros and as you approach Skala. E. from Skala is the long sandy beach of Kaminia, near to Cape Mounda. Turtles breed here. Travelling E. we come to Katelios with its sandy beach. Two, not so readily accessible beaches, may be found at Koroni, often with much sand and also at Sisia, below the monastery. Both are worth a visit.

To the E. are the tourist beaches, with sand and good swimming for families, at Lourda and Trapezaki. From here it is not far to reach Aghia Thomas and Spartia, both with sandy beaches and shallow water.

Along this coast we now return towards Argostoli. Below Svoronata can be found good beaches at Ai Helis, reached from steps and Ammes, near to the airport. Although near the airport runway Ammes is worth looking at, as are a number of others. Follow the road on the seaward side of the runway, look out for Eglinia to the left of the small harbour, it is shallow and safe for children as are the sand beaches at the roadside as we reach Minies and make our return to Argostoli.

The Pali Peninsula (Lixouri), also has good beaches. S. of Lixouri we come to Lepeda and then the red sand beaches and shallow waters of Megas Lakos and Xi. Smaller beaches can then be found at Kounopetra, Aghios Nikolaos and Gero Gombos. Something different, look for Vatsa, across from Aghios Nikolaos with its river, sea inlet. N. of the monastery at Kipouria, look for the road leading down to Platia Ammos. Unfortunately, unless you like walking, you then have to descend down many steep steps to the long beach. On a hot day you require an umbrella and water! From here we can reach Petani, a large bay, approached down a windy road. On the S. side of the bay is the pretty, but small Aghia Elenis. No sand here, but well worth the extra journey. The road down is steep but not a problem. From Petani we complete our beach visits by travelling to the northern tip, to the bay of Atheras and the pretty shallow water beach of Aghio Spiridonas.
