Hidden Kefalonia

The stunning and unspoiled beaches of Fteri and Amidi are found on the western part of the island and the northern side of Paliki peninsula. Two untouched havens of turquoise waters and white, dramatic cliffs in the backdrop, only visited by boat or on foot.
Very near Fteri and Amidi, you will also find Vouti beach, a tranquil coast with emerald waters and large white pebbles boasting views to the open sea and the imposing mountains of the island.
Heading to the south, only a few minutes’ drive from Kefalonia’s capital Argostoli, in the area of Lassi, you will find Paliostafida beach, a calm and uncrowded coast with views to the bay, surrounded by steep verdant cliffs, tall pine trees and various indigenous plants. The beach, although quite unknown, is fully organized with umbrellas and sunbeds and features shallow, clean waters ideal for families with young children. This is the beach right in front of Thalassa Boutique Hotel!
Saint Thomas (Agios Thomas) beach is another hidden gem that has been left out from most travel guides; a small, beautiful coast surrounded by lush greenery with fine sand and shallow, warm waters. This and its easy access make it ideal for children while the seabed is perfect for snorkeling lovers. Here you will also find caves and paths waiting to be explored.

Even southern, near the popular beach of Skala, you will find Koroni beach, similar in looks but much quieter and especially scenic. Its golden fine sand, turquoise waters and the stunning sunset views make this one of the best attractions on this part of the island.
Our list of insider’s tips for beach life in Kefalonia concludes with two more treasured heavens, Horgota and Alaties. Horgota got in the spotlight after the release of the Hollywood film “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin” as it served as the venue of one of the movie’s most popular scenes. A picturesque coast, totally unorganized, with coarse white pebbles and green waters that reflect the lush greenery that surrounds the bay. Horgota is found on the eastern coastline of Kefalonia, between Fiskardo and Agia Efimia.
Alaties is located at about 45km northern of Argostoli and consists in a peaceful small bay with sand and turquoise waters formed by two white cliffs with a lunar morphology. There are several holes on those two rocks where seawater sits and evaporates and this is the spot where locals used to gather salt in older times. And this is where the area took its name as it means Salt in Greek.
