Description: Just 2.5 miles from Argostoli, the capital city of Kefalonia, is the idyllic tourist resort of Makris Gialos, featuring one of the most popular beaches on the island. Tourists flock to the shiny sands and clear blue waters, surrounded by lush green pine forests and punctuated by nearby rocky shores. Lay back and enjoy the Ionian sun, take a dip in the turquoise waters or head out on one of the waterskiing and tubing trips available here. Once you’ve worked up a thirst - or an appetite - enjoy the beachside bar and restaurant, or retreat to one of the numerous nearby hotels. Parent’s note: as with most Greek beaches, topless sunbathing is common here.
