The beach is simply breathtaking. The azure hue of the water is indescribable, making it a standout attraction in Kefalonia. My experience with Queen B boats was exceptional as the amiable brothers who operate the boats allowed us to disembark and swim to the shore. Alternatively, we could opt to ride a small speed boat to reach the beach. I can't emphasize enough how much I recommend this beach.

The beach is nothing special, and it's not worth the hassle of organizing a private charter. Even if you do manage to get there, the only activity available is kayaking, which quickly becomes monotonous. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time and money on this overhyped destination.

Kefalonia boasts of the most picturesque beach, which is only accessible by boat. The journey may require some extra effort, but it is undoubtedly worth the trouble.

The stunning water at this location is truly a sight to behold. Due to its exclusive accessibility by boat, the beach is not crowded, providing a peaceful and serene atmosphere. It is located just a stone's throw away from the popular Costa Costa bar. The water is a delightful temperature and crystal clear, making it a perfect spot for swimming. The sand on the beach is silky and velvety, creating a comfortable and inviting environment.

This shoreline boasts of white boulders and can only be reached by boat. The sun is at its peak from around noon, making it the perfect time to soak in the warmth. If you happen to be visiting Cephalonia, I highly recommend a stop at this beach. You can even hop aboard the Boat Lady O for a fantastic experience.
