Looks better from the viewing point. Long trail down to the beach from the main road only to discover that what looks like white sand is white pebbles, which, to be fair, is par for the course on the north of the island. More

Turquoise heaven from afar, however, very painful underfoot as the beach is made of ting rocks raher than the talcum sand it looks like. Current dangerous, steep and deep. Take extreme care with children. More

Wow - there are only views like this in greece. It's such a famous view - we keep seeing it advertising Greece. The roads around the island are better than in UK - although the road down to the beach is quite steep - fun though! Take a picnic and enjoy! Oh and you camera! We will return to see... More

Beautiful white pebbled beach with clear waters and a gentle tide. No shade unless you bring it yourself so bring suncream. More

The view from the approach road is fantastic, and the beach itself is lovely. Very clean, though there's no shelter so don't rely on staying there all day. More

Make sure to experience the spectacular views from above the high cliffs. When down below swimming, be aware and mindful of the current. As decent swimmers, we found the current powerful. I would not recommend the beach for children. It does feel pretty spectacular sitting in between two massive cliffs. A must see! More

Myrtos Beach, Kefalonia was shown in The Film "Captain Correllie's Mandolin". It looked good in the film and is even better when you see it "In The Flesh" so to speak. Reputedly one of the most photographed beaches in The World. it justifiably deserves this reputation. It is simply stunning. Easy to get to along Kefalonias' twisty mountain roads, it... More

Very good on a calm wind day, if it blows from north, you can't stand anywere. On a calm day the sea is full of trash, and the beach has remains of oil, on a windy day the waves will drag you in ,be carefull!!! More
