What To Do

Below we've listed some things that you can do on the Island

Eat, drink, do and see!

Lassi’s Beaches

Makris Gialos: the biggest and busiest, with sunbeds, a beach bar, and watersports (jet skiing, kayaking, banana boats) right next door

Platis Gialos: right beside Makris Gialos, same beautiful sand, a bit more relaxed

Paliostafida & Kalamia: two smaller, quieter coves if you want to escape the crowds

Day Trips

Melissani Cave: a sparkling underground lake lit from above through a cavity in the rock

Myrtos Beach: often rated the best beach in Greece; worth checking swimming conditions

Assos: a beautiful village tucked in the hills, about 1-2 hours’ drive from Lassi

Fiskardo: a colourful, picturesque harbour town in the north of the island

Petani Beach: chalk-white sand and gravel that gives the sea an almost glowing look

Antisamos Beach: bring a snorkel, the water’s crystal clear

Omala Valley wineries: try Kefalonia’s own Robola white wine at a local cellar like Orealios

A Few Drinks
