Lagadakia
A small beach with white pebbles and deep blue waters in Lixouri, kefalonia
Petani
Petani beach is one of the most beautiful beaches. It has many similarities with the beautiful and famous beach Mirtos but it is more safe because it is not so wild. It is protected by large slopes, has very deep crystal water, forming all the shades of blue and white pebbles combined with the fine white sand. Services include sunbeds, beach bars and many restaurants with fresh fish that are above the beach. The ideal visiting hours for Petani is around sunset as the sun dips in the waters giving your eyes a treat of nature at its best.
Platia Ammos
Platia ammos beach is in Lixouri. Located to the left of the monastery of Kipouria towards the village Kaminarata is this beautiful beach which many consider to be the new Mirtos. It has blue waters, very clean with golden sand and is ideal for relaxation since the the masses have not discovered it yet. This is because the access is disproportionate to its beauty. You must descend the 400+ steps to get down and climb them back up. Not for the feint of heart but well worth the effort!
Xi
Xi is a long beach with red sand across from the island of Vardiani. It has been awarded the blue flag by the EU. It is a famous beach because it offers a natural mud-bath since the sand is high in clay. It has shallow waters and is therefore prefered by families with young children. It offers sunbeds, beach bar, showers and WC. During July-August it is bombarded by people but is worth the visit.
