Top 10 Things to do Good for Couples in Cephalonia, Ionian Islands
The sapphire waters of Cephalonia are steeped with history. The large Greek island was home to Odysseus, the legendary king hailed in Homer’s The Odyssey. Fortunately, it won’t take you ten years to get there. Explore the enchanting caverns of the Drogarati caves, sail to Ithaca on a glass-bottomed boat or marvel at the ancient artifacts inside the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, Cephalonia’s main town. Or just hide from it all at one of the island’s many private beach coves.

Walk Through a Honeybee Hive with a Local Beekeeping Expert. Don a suit and head into an apiary, where you’ll see an open hive and hold a frame of live bees; conclude your visit with honey tastes. Weather permit it !!!

????????????A must to do while your in Kefalonia, you will love the vast experience of Eleni & Thanassis as they take you on a tour of the bees and tell you all about the journey they take in life, one word is fascinating, once you’ve had a cool drink and things explained, you dress in a beekeeper suit and taken to see the bees and then the laboratory to see how the honey etc is processed, then you get to taste and buy products if you wish. We felt sad to go because they make you feel so welcome. Got to be No1 attraction in Kefalonia ????????????

We got to Fteri Beach in September 2019 and parked our car right next to the goat farm. We walked around 40min to this wonderful beach where both the way and the way back of red and green points were marked. The path is also suitable for inexperienced hikers but has steep slopes and you should have sturdy shoes. So, if you‘re up for kind of an adventure, the beach is absolutely worth the walk. Otherwise, you can take the water taxi which is also absolutely worth the money.

A beach so spectacularly blue you have to pinch yourself hour after hour to check you are not dreaming. The water is immensely clear and the blueness goes on forever. It is a cove surrounded by luscious green mountains - with mountain goats for added Greek authenticity and the white sand is like silk upon the soles of Your feet. The waves are strong and the current powerful which makes it difficult to get out for a swim but it is immensely fun playing around in the waves on the vast shoreline. There are umbrellas and sun beds for a small fee of 3.50 each and a little beach bar with showers and toilets. I would recommend getting here before midday as the car park got quite busy. On the way down to the beach you must stop off at the viewpoint and film the panoramic views of the mountains meeting the ocean - I have never seen a view like it. Only A couple of warnings would be there are paragliders which land on the beach so be careful to stay out of there way and be careful with children playing in the sea without an adult. As I said the waves are powerful and will. Drag you under if you are not careful. I cannot recommend a beach to go to more highly than this for a perfect peaceful and fulfilling day on your travels.

Visited this beach at the end of October The season was almost over so the area was very quiet and peaceful The beach is spotlessly clean and the Costa Costa beach bar has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing day on the beach The sun beds are clean and comfortable There are changing rooms and the toilets are spotlessly clean The food and the service in the bar was second to none We liked it so much we taxied from Argostoli every day Thank you for looking after us

Beautiful beach with white pebbles & clear water
Reviewed By nanaoana
There s a real debate whether this is better than Myrtos beach...I surely enjoyed it better. Wide enough, there is space for everyone. It has several areas with sunbeds, 2 taverns and a coffee bar, water sports for rental. We had lunch at tavern ksouras (something like that) and it was one of the best meals we had during our stay This beach has small white pebbles which makes water shoes needed. It s great for snorkeling, with clear water and has a very good vibe...really relaxing.

Top notch beach with life guards waters sports and very good amenities everything from beanbag lounging areas to large doublebed loungers all set in a stunning backdrop of greenery.. Crystal clear water that drops of quickly so young kids need constant vigilance.. But very impressive and great restaurants tight to the beach with lounger service don't need to move a muscle just relax by your lounger... Almost paradise just add a few palm trees... Fabulous.. ????????

Our first visit to Assos was in 1992,way before all the rebuilding work and new villas were erected but even then with only a couple of Tavernas and most of the village still in ruins we both fell in love with it, unfortunately very little if any accommodation was available in those days so we would find rooms as near to Assos as possible.We think the village is head and shoulders above most of the resorts on Kefalonia thats if you really want to chill out in this beautiful scenic little village with its lovely bay and the old castle ruins high above the village. Dont come looking for discos or lots of bars, this is a peaceful little base from where you can explore the rest of the island
