Myrtos Beach, also known as Myrtos Beach, is a popular seaside destination in Kefalonia. Renowned as the island’s most famous beach, it has become a major attraction, drawing numerous visitors in recent years. Situated in the northern part of the island within the municipality of Pilares, it is located 30 kilometers north of Argostoli. The closest village is Divarata, 2.5 km south of the beach. The beach features white pebbles and vibrant blue waters, influenced by the area’s currents. Enclosed by a cliff, the beach stretches approximately 800 meters in length, with a small house at one end.
Myrtos Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag and has been voted the best beach in Greece 11 times by thalassa.gr, more than any other beach. It is a well-organized beach, offering amenities such as a canteen, umbrellas, sunbeds, and a lifeguard.
The Melissani Cave is located near Karavomilos on the island of Kefalonia. This stunning lacustrine cave is fully developed, measuring 3.5 km in length, 40m in width, and 36m in height. Melissani Cave is a remarkable geological phenomenon, formed through a mechanical and chemical process known as karstification, where water penetrates calcareous rocks, eroding them and creating cavities.
The underground Melissani Lake was discovered in 1951 by speleologist Giannis Petrochilos. A significant portion of its roof has collapsed, revealing a breathtaking view. In ancient times, the lake was a site of worship dedicated to Pan and the Nymph Melissani. According to myths, Melissani drowned herself in the lake due to unrequited love for Pan.
The lake also features an islet where archaeologist S. Marinatos uncovered Pan’s sanctuary. The artifacts found are currently housed in the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli. These include a clay figure of Pan, a clay disc depicting dancing nymphs, a clay plate showing a nymph procession, and a small plate with a relief of a woman figure.
Visitors can access the lake through an underground tunnel and explore it by boat with a guide. This allows them to admire the unique natural sculptures formed by stalactites and the crystal-clear blue-green waters.
