Paralia Katelios — Attraction in Argostoli Municipality

Katelios village and its lovely beach of the same name are located 29 km from Argostoli. The area is known for its peaceful atmosphere, ideal for a family vacation and nature lovers, while the coast is recommended for long walks and sunbathing. On the main road of Katelios, one will find a couple of nice beachfront cafes and fish taverns.

There are turtle's nests on the beach, so you have to set up closer to the shore so that you don't disturb them. Overall, excellent to...

Of all the beaches we visited along the south coast of Kefalonia, this one was the best. It might not be perfect white sands but the swimming is so good - calm warm waters, views of the mountains, and sandy underfoot (with a metre or 2 of rocks at the shore) It is very accessible, you can drive all the way down to the beach (or an east enough walk; not too steep, not too rocky on the track) we were there at the end of august around 1-3pm and it was mostly older local folks just hanging out in the water and having a nice time. Super chilled, no party folks, exactly what we were...
