Kefalonia Island - The Best Beaches In Greece
In our opinion, Kefalonia island has the best beaches in Greece! From Myrtos to Assos to Platias, this island is truly blessed with beaches. But that's not all that there is to offer here! In this week's episode, we rent another car on Kefalonia and explore for a few days. We drive all the way around the island (except for the Southeast) and see many beautiful places including the Paliki Peninsula, Assos Town, Myrtos Beach, Fiskardo, Argostoli, Sklavos Winery and much more! We eat delicious greek food, swim in some of the most beautiful water we've ever seen, meet new friends and try new wines!
This island is famous for having some of the best beaches in Greece, and while we agree that there are some spectacular stretches of sand, it's really the raw nature and laid back vibe of Kefalonia that we loved.
This is definitely one of the best islands in Greece and we will return one day to explore some more! For now, check out what we've seen so far!
VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:
We're at our second island here in Greece this is Kefalonia. We just picked up this little ride from ETAM KCG Travel here on the island, we're going to be ripping around, checking out this place. It's famous for it's rocky coastline, pristine beaches and tasty wine. It's one of the largest islands in the Ionian Island chain and also one of the largest islands in Greece, so we definitely need a car.
So in this episode we're exploring Kefalonia. Let's do it guys!
We just checked into our hotel, this is White Rocks on Kefalonia Island. Which we're so happy about because check out our view from our amazing room. This hotel is set on two breathtaking blue flag beaches and we have a view of them right from our room here. It's incredible so we're so happy to be here for four nights and wake up to this view every morning. So we're just going to drop off our bags and go explore Kefalonia.
We spent the afternoon hanging out at the beaches near our hotel, and then we came out to this place, this is Sto Psito Restaurant. We've been told that they serve up traditional food using local ingredients and we're excited to try Kefalonian wine and the specialties as well. Plus there are supposed to be amazing views from the sunset terrace. I can tell already that it's going to be gorgeous so let's get in there.
We're now in Argostoli which is the capital of Kefalonia. This city like many places in the south end of the island was rocked by an earth quake in the 1950s so it's been rebuilt, but there are still nice buildings like this church here behind us and there's a beautiful seafront promenade that runs for probably a couple of kilometers so we're going to go hit that up right now.
So it wasn't until 1864 that these Ionian Islands became a part of Greece, before that they were occupied by the French, The Russians, The Italians, The Turks, so they've basically had a really different history from the rest of Greece. So they have their own traditions which we're getting to witness here today because their wearing traditional clothing and they're dancing and having a parade to celebrate 1864 when they officially reunited with Greece.
We just drove about an hour from the capital to come all the way over here on the other side of the peninsula to this little place, this is called Petani Beach and it's gorgeous but it's super windy and super wavy right now so we won't be swimming, but we're going to chill out in this little tavern for now and have some lunch.
So we just finished up a tasty lunch on the beach and then we drove for another twennty minutes and now we're in the little town of Lixoury. We're on the Paliki Peninsula and there is hardly anybody here. The drive took us through a lot of undeveloped areas and now we're in this town and I don't see anyone around there's just a bunch of fishing boats and it's pretty cool. So now we're just going to walk around, explore the plaza, have a coffee and explore this little town a little bit.
another short little drive from Lixoury town brought us here, this is Xi Beach. The sand here is unique in that it's really rust color and kind of reddish and there's mud here that you're supposed to rub all over your body and it's like a spa treatment for your skin.
So we're going to walk along this sand for a little bit and then this afternoon we're supposed to go for a wine tasting, so we don't have very much time to hangout on Xi Beach here but we'll do a little stroll on the sand here and then hop back in the car.
Last night when we ate at that Tavern we had that Sklavos wine that I said we just loved and today we're going to meet Mr.Sklavos, we're at the Sklavos Vineyard and I think we're going to walk around the vineyard and maybe try some more of this delicious wine!

Evia, Greece The Whole of Greece in Just One island HD
Firs and tamarisks, imposing mountains and endless beaches, fish and game, “drakospita” (dragon houses) and lighthouses, the Edipsos thermal springs, old monasteries, waterfalls, ravines, industrial monuments, stone-built guesthouses, the Cavo Doro Cape… and one capital, Chalkida, friendly and affordable, ideal for endless promenades by the sea. Yes, Evia, one of the most impressive greek islands, with its unique beauty, looking out towards the Aegean Sea, holds the whole of Greece within its shores !North, central or south? Whichever route you choose, touring around Evia will be a delight. In the north you will find countless fragrant pine forests, old monasteries such as Galataki and Osios David, the beautiful settlement of Limni Evias, the Drimonas waterfalls and Edipsos. In central Evia there is Dirfis and its alpine landscapes. Sumptuous beaches dominate the north-east side of the island, along with the mediaeval towers at Messapia and the byzantine churches at Avlonas. In the southern part of the island discover the land of the winds, with the enigmatic “drakospita” (dragon houses), the Ohi mountain range, the enchanting Dimosaris gorge, the Eretria archaeological treasures and the mediaeval castles at Aliveri, Stira and Karistos.There is a magnificent beach hidden around every bend on Evia. In the north, discover the beaches of Edipsos, Politikon, Limnionas, Kavos, Gregolimanos and, of course, everyone’s favorite, Agia Anna – Agkali. In central Evia you will find the famous Hiliadou with its lush vegetation, sand and pebbles of every shape and size and its sea cave that is just begging to be explored. The beach took its name from the small byzantine church of Panagia Hiliadou – meaning the thousandth –as, according to tradition, this was the thousandth church built by Empress Theodora. Here you will also find Mourteri beach, loved by wind and kite-surfers, Eretria beach, Agios Merkourios, Kalamos and Korasida. In the south, the beaches of Nea Stira, Limnionas Stiron, Xrysi Ammos and the popular Figia will welcome you into their turquoise waters.Famous since antiquity thanks to the unique properties of their waters, the Edipsos springs help heal the body and soul. To the never-ending line of emperors and roman generals that have visited the area’s baths, you may add 19th and 20th century prime ministers, writers and ship-owners. Immerse yourself in the healing waters, admire Thermae Sylla -a neoclassical masterpiece built around an impressive tower- marvel at the old baths designed by Ernst Ziller, breath in the sea breeze and feel reborn ! Honestly, the inhabitants of Chalkida are totally sane , despite the peculiar behaviour of the waters under the old Chalkida Bridge, which change direction on a whim every six hours. The reason for this phenomenon? The moon’s gravity, as well as the difference in sea level between the north and south Evoikos Gulfs. Fresh fish and sea food, endless promenades along the quay with its cafes and restaurants, important sights such as the Kokkino Spiti (Red House) of 1884, the House with the Statues, the archaeological museum and the Mayor’s Hall, whose architecture features baroque and Italian eclecticism elements, all make up the unique character of Evia’s sunny capital.
Το επίπεδο, παραδεισένιο ελληνικό νησί που είναι όλο παραλία | Dream islet Greece Drone
Ευχαριστώ πολύ τον φίλο Νίκο Κοκολάκη για την εξαιρετική εκτέλεση και την άδεια για τη χρήση του τραγουδιού.
Δείτε το και εδώ:
==========================
Απολαύστε μια μαγευτική πτήση πάνω από το επίπεδο νησί που είναι όλο παραλία και θυμίζει εξωτικούς προορισμούς του εξωτερικού.
Αναφερόμαστε στο νησάκι του Σικελιανού ή Άγιος Νικόλαος, στην είσοδο της Λευκάδας.
Πρόκειται για έναν τόπο παραδεισένιο, με ρηχά τιρκουάζ νερά, προστατευμένο από τους ισχυρούς ανέμους και περιβαλλόμενο από μια απέραντη παραλία, με ελάχιστη βλάστηση.
Αυτόν τον παραδεισένιο τόπο λάτρεψε η Εύα, γυναίκα του ποιητή μας Άγγελου Σικελιανού και ήθελε να το αγοράσει, χωρίς επιτυχία. Πάνω σ’ αυτόν τον εξωτικό προορισμό με τους ευωδιαστούς «κρίνους της Εύας» έζησαν ο Άγγελος Σικελιανός, η γυναίκα του και το παιδί τους Γλαύκος, με μόνη παρέα τους φίλους τους, τους αγνούς ψαράδες, με τους οποίους άρεσε στον Άγγελο Σικελιανό να συζητά και να μοιράζεται εμπειρίες. Σ' αυτό το νησάκι, ο Άγγελος Σικελιανός, κάτω από το γαλήνιο βλέμμα του Αγίου Νικολάου, εμπνεύστηκε και συνέγραψε με ασυγκράτητη έμπνευση τις μεγάλες του ποιητικές συλλογές.
Το μοναδικό κτίσμα που υπάρχει πάνω στο νησί είναι το εκκλησάκι του Αγίου Νικολάου.
Ένας παράδεισος για τον ποιητή μας, Άγγελο Σικελιανό, ο οποίος ακόμη και σήμερα μαγεύει τον επισκέπτη με την ιδιαίτερη μορφολογία του που θυμίζει Ταϊλάνδη, Μαλδίβες και άλλους εξωτικούς προορισμούς.
Απολαύστε την πτήση!
