Kefalonia Island - Greece

In March Discover one of the most beautiful islands of Greece: Kefalonia.

 

Located south of the islands of Corfu and Lefkada, Kefalonia is famous for its sandy coves. Do not miss to visit Myrtos Beach and Antisamos beach. For nature lovers we recommend Melissani Lake, ranked among the best nature wonders in Greece.

 

Also not to be missed: Xi Beach & the colourful fishing village of Asos.

 

The beach of Xi is famous for the incredible colour of its sand. This red-orange sand, similar to Roland-Garros tennis courts', is just as comfortable and pleasant as any other type of sand but is more original. The beach has been flying a blue flag for several years now for the exceptional quality of its waters. The ancient, colourful fishing village of Asos is perfect for a family holiday in Kefalonia.
