Myrtos Beach is one of the world's most beautiful — blue water, white cliffs, no crowds.
Kefalonia is the largest island in the Ionian Sea and one of Greece's most beautiful — known for its dramatic limestone scenery, the enchanting Melissani cave lake, and the turquoise water of Myrtos Beach, widely regarded as one of the world's most beautiful. The island featured in Captain Corelli's Mandolin and has remained more authentic than the major Greek tourist hotspots.
