Paralia Lourdata — Attraction in Argostoli Municipality

The longer I stayed around Lourdata beach the more I liked it.

It is a long narrow beach and not as stunning as other beaches on Kefalonia as the water isn’t quite as clear (probably because it is more sandy) but there is a something very laid-back and traditional and trendy about the area and I appreciated it for this.
