The colorful houses, with their shutters and bougainvillea-covered balconies, give the village a unique, timeless charm. The port and marina are considered a boaters’ paradise and it is packed with yachts in the summertime.

Myrtos is the most famous beach in Kefalonia and has been named the best beach in Greece countless times. It is a large coast with turquoise waters and white sand, surrounded by steep cliffs. You can stop off on the way to Fiskardo and enjoy views of the beach from the coast road. The route down to Myrtos Beach involves navigating narrow, switchback, winding roads that cut through the mountainous terrain of Kefalonia.
