Situated close to the car park and just below the road – access is easy. There is an archaeological site on the beach which is the remains of a Roman Villa. Unfortunately, this is closed off and not accessible. Olive trees provide welcome shade and there are views of Ithaca in the background.
The water is clear and good for swimming. Being situated just outside the entrance to the harbour, this is a good place to observe the ferries and yachts visiting.

Dafnudi is a hidden beach at the northernmost tip of Cephalonia. Shade is limited when the sun is high so remember to take a beach umbrella. There is even a small and very cool cave at the water’s edge. The beach is pebbly, the waters are calm and the colours vary from blue to green. The easiest way to go is by car or motorbike, take the main road out of Fiscardo as far as Antipata (the first village you come to), turn right at the taverna, and follow the road down. After 1.2 Km you will find a path walk 400m through a cypress forest and you will find the beach.

Alaties is a remote cove on the western coast. This name means “saltworks”, as sea salt used to be hand-harvested from the hollows in the rocks. The larger hollows were once used for healing baths. This perhaps explains the stepped landscaping of the terrain and the presence of pine trees. The beach is surrounded by rocks, making it a good spot for diving and snorkelling. There is a tavern behind where you can enjoy lunch or, better yet a memorable sunset.

About 9km from Fiskardo. One of the local “secrets”, the Holy City of Jerusalem is one of the few beaches that is still relatively quiet in August. There is a small and excellent tavern that provides good food in an idyllic setting, reminiscent of untouched Greece of bygone eras.
The beach takes its name from the small ruined church that stands on the side of the beach. The crystal clear waters are home to many seahorses. The sunsets on this beach are spectacular.
