Kato Lagadi, Kefalonia, Greece - paradise beach 2020

It was my 7th summer on Kefalonia island. No matter how many times I visit the same place I always feel like I am there for the first time. I love to discover new spots, little beaches, off the beaten track.

This year I've had the chance to explore a small corner of paradise, close to Poros. Kato Lagadi beach is accesible by foot or by boat. It is located 45 km east of Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia, 6 km from Poros, on the coastal road towards Skala.

It is not a popular place but its excellent waters and fascinating surrounding make Kato Lagadi an idyllic area for relaxation and snorkeling. Kato Lagadi is also known as Kako Lagadi. It is a tiny sandy cove that lies between two steep rocks with some vegetation on top. Due to its small space there are no facilities.

The path to go down is a bit difficult so I would recommend wearing sneakers even though I went down wearing flip flops. The first time I wanted to visit this place I couldn't find the path. So the 2nd time I've searched online and I've found an YouTube video that shows you exactly which way to go to reach the splendid beach. I will leave you the link below.

   

As you can see it takes only 5 minutes to get down to Kato Lagadi. Jump over the parapet, the place is marked with a red arrow, and follow the path. It's not an easy way for kids or elderly people but with a little help it's ok. GPS: 38.125730, 20.801087 

It is truly an amazing spot for relaxation and total privacy, in certain hours though. During July and August more locals come here. 

The beach consist of calm blue waters and a pebbled shore. On the left side of the beach there are some rocks that provide natural shade. The arches and caves are absolutely marvelous for a photo shooting, especially in contrast with the turquoise water. I'll leave you some pics below. 

Be sure to bring with you food and refreshments. For the snorkeling lovers Kato Lagadi is an ideal spot.

Enjoy and until next time, take care.

10 Reasons why to visit Kefalonia

The marvelous beaches of Erissos, northern Kefalonia

Erissos is the name of the northern part of Kefalonia, Greece. The highlights include two of the most impressive villages of the island, the picturesque Assos and the colorful Fiskardo . The rest of the area has numerous villages with traditional houses.

 Assos

Fiskardo

Wild nature, beautiful beaches with blue crystal clear waters and stunning views make this region a corner of paradise.

Emplisi

The painting is completed by forests of cypress trees, unique rock formations and stunning views towards Ithaka, Lefkada and, on a clear day, mainland Greece.

Dafnoudi

I will leave aside the main beaches of Assos and Fiskardo as they are pretty busy, especially in the high season and I will concentrate on the pristine ones.

Kimilia

The beaches predominantly have white pebbles, crystal clear water and they are surrounded by lush vegetation.

Alaties is a small cove, surrounded my rocks. There is a nice restaurant near by, with great dishes and beautiful sunset view.

Alaties

Dafnoudi and Kimilia are hidden among trees and rocks. Perfect for snorkeling, swimming and sunbathing, they are to be found after a nice walk through the forest.

Escape the daily murmur and find your own piece of nice and quiet on these beaches. Don't forget your swimming shoes, water and food.

Foki

Emplisi is a bit more touristic but the views are stunning. It is quite close to Fiskardo and a 5 stars hotel. There are olive trees on the beach, a parking and a small shop for refreshments and snacks. Explore the forest near by and discover amazing rock formations, both natural and man made.

Evreti

On the eastern coast you will find Foki, Xylokaravo, Evreti and Kamini beaches.

They are all small oasis of pure tranquility. The last 3 are best to visit by boat.

Dive into the Ionian blue, read a book under the olive trees and explore the raw, beautiful greek nature. Again, don't forget to take everything you need with you as these beaches have no shops, sunbeds or umbrellas.

Well, if you are a nature lover and a day on the beach, among the trees is your favorite way of spending it, then you are in for a treat.

My favorites from the above are Kimilia, Emplisi and Foki.  Which are yours?
