Avithos Beach — Attraction in Argostoli Municipality

We visited on Sunday 18th June and sat on the main beach which was fairly crowded but we managed to find a quiet section on the main beach to the left as you face the sea. It’s lovely here with shallow and warm water. There’s also a life guard on duty on the main beach and refreshments if you need it. Video is of the main beach. On both the far left of the beach and on the far right behind 2 equally huge rocks are a section for naturists. On the left you have to walk into the sea but only to knee height to access the beach however this makes it very private and I only saw one naturist couple on this beach. On the right you have to walk across some low rocks onto a second lovely sandy beach to go past the very large rock to the naturist area and because you don’t need to get your feet wet to access this beach I saw quite a few naturist couples on this beach. Towards the end of the day naturists were using both middle and far right beach. Still photos are of the naturist area to the left of the beach. The sea is lovely turquoise colour. Lovely looking taverna just set back from the beach. I would definitely go back to this beach but I would use the beach to the right as you face the sea because it was more accessible...

Avithos Beach in Kefalonia is, without a doubt, a five-star slice of paradise! From the moment you step onto its golden, soft sand, you'll be captivated by the sheer beauty and tranquillity. The crystal-clear, turquoise waters are simply inviting, perfect for a refreshing swim. What truly sets Avithos apart is its gentle, shallow slope, making it ideal for families with children to splash and play safely. Even if you're not travelling with little ones, the calm waters are incredibly relaxing. The beach itself is wonderfully organized, yet manages to retain a natural, unspoiled charm. You'll find plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas for ultimate comfort, along with convenient showers. There are also two fantastic tavernas right on the beach, serving up delicious fresh seafood and traditional Greek dishes, perfect for a leisurely lunch with a breathtaking sea view. One of the most enchanting aspects of Avithos is the stunning natural backdrop of lush green hills and the mesmerizing view of the islet of Dias with its charming church. Keep an eye out for the protected turtle nests on the quieter eastern side – a truly special experience if you're lucky enough to witness...

Nice beach with a friendly beach bar that has drinks and sandwiches. There is also a couple of restaurants as you come into the beach by the parking area. The bar is fun and has music. The beach is sandy though as you enter has rocks (hence the 4 stars). It’s also a breeding ground for turtles which is fun sight. We did not see them but you can see the wild life group enclosing their area for protection. I still think it might not be the best idea to build up the beach as it might run the risk of deterring or ruining the turtles habitat for breeding but I’m no wild life expert. Fun all around. A blue flag beach which is great for everyone. Has sun beds for 10 euros which is nice or a large area to bring your own gear. The turquoise water is beautiful, clear and warm (we were here in august). The beach. As you enter the water it has a sort of W shape to the seabed so once you get past the 2-3 meters of rock it’s nice soft sand to walk on or just swim...
