Myrtos Beach

Myrtos Beach is a renowned beach located in Greece, specifically on the island of Kefalonia. It is known for its stunning natural beauty, characterized by a mix of blue hues in the sea and the surrounding scenic limestone cliffs. The beach is large and organized, maintaining a clean environment for visitors. However, the beach is pebbly and full of rocks, making beach shoes a necessity for comfortable walking. The water at Myrtos Beach is notably deep, even just a few meters from the shore. This, combined with a strong current and high tides, can make the sea dangerous to enter. It is advised that only experienced swimmers venture into the water. Despite these conditions, the water temperature is not cold, and there is a beautiful cave and rocks on the far end of the beach. However, visitors are advised against entering the cave, possibly due to recent seismic activity. In terms of amenities, Myrtos Beach is well-equipped. There is a beach bar that opens at 10am, offering ready-to-eat snacks, cold drinks, and ice cream. However, there is no food available on site, so visitors planning to spend the day are advised to bring their own meals. The beach also provides toilets, showers, and changing rooms, and there are lifeguards on site for safety. Sunbeds and tables are available for rent. Parking is available right next to the beach, but it tends to fill up quickly. Visitors are advised to arrive early or towards the end of the day for the best chance of securing a spot. Despite these considerations, the breathtaking beauty of Myrtos Beach makes it a must-visit destination in Kefalonia.
