What to do and see in Cephalonia, Greece: The Best Places and Tips
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.

Reviewed By Mike S - Loughborough, United Kingdom
Assos is a very quaint village with the castle located on the peninsular above it. Walking to the castle is not for the feint hearted especially when its hot, take water. Walking up the wide path you can take a shorter route up the unmade path which is not for most but you have stunning and scary views down steep cliffs to the sea. Worth seeing.

Go through gate at emblissi walk at 10 metres then turn left do not go straight ahead. You will walk up hill for a bit. All well sign post blue and white marks. About 14 min walk lovely when you arrive. Flips ok but be careful. Lovely beach and you can walk out a bit. No facilities though but really a lovely beach

4. Emblisi Beach

Reviewed By Gritstone - Derbyshire, United Kingdom
This place is great - and very accessible. Parking is yards from the beach and the cafe/shack (open through summer) sells food and drink. It rents loungers for the amazing price of 3 Euros a day which are well worth using. The seabed is fairly shelving and the swimming and snorkelling is great too. Definitely with a visit - and walkable from Fiscardo (ask a local for the coast path to avoid the roads)

6. Memorial Acqui Division

Reviewed By sjk4158 - Suffolk, United Kingdom
You can visit this monument without using a tour company - it is just outside of Argostoli up the hill towards Panorama Finari Apartments. Lots of Italian visitors showing their respect - humbling experience. Just across the street from the memorial is another site, which often gets missed, just tucked in the trees you can see the Italian flag and mementos.

A beach on the Andisamis Bay of Ionian sea, which you reach following the good road northeast of Sami, port of the ferry to Ithaca

Visited Anto Samos in August this and to no surprise we found the beach absolutely packed... however there is still enough room for you to enjoy yourself without people sitting on top of you. The Water Sports section is a bit expensive but well worth a go!

Nice and clean beach with tons is restaurants and amenities the only down side is that you have to walk a bit through restaurants and some narrow streets otherwise climb down small cliffs to get here but it’s nice and shallow water is pleasant if you have small children.
9. Dafnoudi Beach
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Nicolas C
We arrived at the spot without knowing we had to take a long path down the beach.
It was a 15min walk but it was totally worth it. A path inside the forest, full of trees covering us in their shadow.
At the end of the path we came across a small beach covered in pubbles. Rocks on one side of the beach and trees all over make a picturesque scenery.
Recommending it for couples and adult groups. Not really the place for families since this is a small quiet beach.
10. Kaminia Beach

To reach Kaminia Beach, you must head toward Ratzakli, on the way Katelios-Skala. You will see signs for this easily accessible beach.

This is a gorgeous stretch of sandy beach, perfect for chilling out especially if you are staying at a hotel on the beach or as a day trip. Beautiful clear water with some waves.
