Although the water is pleasant, I don't think I'd return to this beach. The cost of the sunbeds is quite steep - 25€ for the first row, 20€ for the second, and 15€ for the rest - and the area is very cramped with little space between each sunbed. Additionally, if you wish to order anything, you'll have to wait an extended period of time before someone attends to you.

The beach has convenient access from a large parking lot and the water is clean and suitable for children, gradually getting deeper after about 20 meters from the shore. The sand also has a pleasing color and the beach is both organized and offers some open space.

The beach features a stunning turquoise sea that stretches out before you, with a wide expanse of golden sand to lounge upon. The water is shallow for quite a distance, making it perfect for wading or swimming. Rows of sunbeds and sunbrellas are readily available, though they do come with a somewhat steep price tag of 45-20 euros. However, there are also areas where you can spend time without having to pay, and food and drinks can be ordered to keep you refreshed throughout the day. All in all, this beach is definitely worth a visit.

This beach in Kefalonia is well-known and conveniently located near Argostoli, only a 10-minute drive away. The water is stunning, but it's important to note that it can get extremely crowded and expensive. The parking lot is fairly large. The beach has both organized and unorganized areas, with the organized section being quite costly compared to other beaches on the island. However, we were able to find a more affordable option at the Blue Paradise beach bar. While some reviews suggested that outside food and drinks were not allowed, we had a positive experience with friendly waiters who didn't mind us bringing our own snacks and water. We even had lunch there without any issues. Unfortunately, there is no shade available, so it can get quite hot. If you opt for the unorganized area, be sure to bring your own umbrella. The water is crystal clear and warm, almost like a pool, but it's too shallow for snorkeling.
