Beach description
The beach itself is a small bay, encircled by quaint rocks and stones. Along the shore and within the sea, you'll find smooth pebbles, while the water is as transparent as a baby's tear. Grottos and caves complete this idyllic picture.
These sites were severely affected during the 1953 earthquake, when the island rose by a meter and a half above sea level - a change especially noticeable along the local rocks. It's an ideal spot for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts, as well as for those who prefer a secluded, tranquil holiday in picturesque, albeit hard-to-reach, locations.
When is the best time to go?
The best time to visit Kefalonia for a beach vacation is during the summer months, when the island's natural beauty can be fully appreciated under the warm Greek sun. Here are a few reasons why:
- Weather: June to September offers the most reliable weather, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C, perfect for sunbathing and swimming.
- Water Temperature: The sea is warmest in July and August, making it ideal for water activities.
- Crowds: If you prefer a quieter experience, consider visiting in June or September, when there are fewer tourists.
- Local Festivals: Summer is also the time for cultural events and festivals, adding a unique flavor to your beach vacation.
Regardless of the exact month, summer in Kefalonia is a time of vibrant blue skies and crystal-clear waters, perfect for an unforgettable beach holiday.
