Spilia - all beaches

The temperature was pleasant, around 24°C, and the water was comfortably warm. The beach had a sufficient amount of sand, making it enjoyable for our family to spend time in the water. The depth of the water was ideal, ranging from 2 to 4 feet for a considerable distance. Although there was limited shade available, we were able to find a parasol in town and brought it along. The beach was great for snorkeling, and there was no need for rock climbing to access it.

This exquisite beach is one of our top picks. It offers a secluded and serene atmosphere, and boasts a breathtakingly beautiful small stretch of sand. The water is a mesmerizing shade of blue and is so clear that you can see right through it. This is the perfect spot for those seeking a peaceful and idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

We had the most incredible stay here. The entire hotel is stunning, with so much thought put into every detail. We adored the wild planting around the hotel, featuring a mix of thistles, mint, fennel, old olive trees, and more. The saltwater pools were pure bliss. The restaurant was perfect, offering delicious food with a variety of interesting flavors and local produce. The whole team was incredibly welcoming and genuinely sincere, making us feel right at home. We traveled with our 4-year-old daughter, who absolutely loved the hotel. The pool was great for her, with a shallow step for easy access. It was around 18°C in May, so already quite warm. She also enjoyed the food, especially the oat pancakes in the morning. Having traveled to many nice hotels around the world, my husband and I both agree that we will definitely come back. This was one of the most special and relaxing places we have ever visited. A big thank you to the owners and team for creating such a wonderful place!

Vatsa Bay is a charming and secluded spot, offering a sandy beach with crystal clear and shallow water that faces the open sea. It is a hidden gem on the island, not widely recognized or frequented by tourists, making it a perfect destination for a peaceful and rejuvenating day. The Spiaggia Vatsa tavern is an excellent choice for enjoying local cuisine and drinks while taking in the relaxing atmosphere. We felt a deep connection to this place, prompting us to return for another day during our vacation in Kefalonia. It is worth mentioning that this is the very spot where the renowned Serbian painter and writer, Momo Kapor, used to spend his summer holidays.
