Kefalonia family holidays

Best destinations in Kefalonia for families

You can't beat relaxing on the dazzling beaches of Kefalonia. Xi Beach is an excellent destination for spending a pleasant day on the sand. With its rich orange sand on the narrow shoreline, at the southernmost tip of Paliki, Xi beach is a family favourite. Xi's sand is extremely soft and contains minimal clay, providing ideal conditions for building fortress-like sandcastles.

The beach at Antisamos, near the port of Sami, offers families plenty of thrills. You can hire a paddle boat or jetski from Extreme Watersports Antisamos and enjoy the translucent waters, then fill up on crispy tacos at the Antisamos Beach Bar. One thing's for sure: these pristine waters are just waiting to be explored.
