A striking village in Kefalonia, Agia Eufima sits on the sweep of Sami Bay and is just 15 minutes from sweet Sami itself. Lined with fisherman boats, facing the scenic port of Ithica, and with endless summer vibes, this village is laced with rocky coves and waterside cafes and is backed by glowing green mountains. Beach Elies and Myrtos Beach are two of the best in the area, and in the next town, you can find underground lakes and hidden caves at Karavomylos.
The little port town on the east coast of Kefalonia has kept every inch of its traditional and local Greek charm. While tourism flocks to the larger resorts, Sami is a delightful little village with a smattering of accommodation options, pretty beaches, and a bustling port backed by the rising humps of green mountains. Sami has its fame to claim through with its beautiful beach of Antisamos having featured in the Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz blockbuster of Captain Corelli's Mandolin. With its pale pebbles, loungers, and taverns, Antisamos can easily hold your attention for the whole day - especially as it has a wealth of watersport friendly activities on offer too. For those looking to explore beyond the beach, there are the Melissani Lake Caves close by where you can row a boat into the partially collapsed cave soaked in splendid light before ducking down further to admire the impressive stalactites.
Kalamos, a mountainous island in the Ionian Sea, offers visitors a serene Greek island experience. With an area of about 25 square kilometers and a population of around 500 year-round residents, Kalamos swells with tourists in summer. The island boasts two main ports of call: Kalamos town and Episkopi. The mountainous, pine-forested island offers cool, shady spots, clear waters, pebbled beaches, and a peaceful retreat despite the other visitors. Charter guests can kick back on pristine pebble beaches like Myrtia, Asproviali, and Agriapidia. Visit the ruins of Kastromonastiro and the church of Agios Georgios for a dose of culture, and hike through lush pine forests to the island's peak.
Built on the foothills of the Ancient Curium, Episkopi is part of the Limosol District, is home to rich archeological findings, and is surrounded by rugged natural surroundings. Rocky outcrops, sprawling grapevines, and fertile plains serve as the backdrop to this village, which sits hemmed in between all of this and the Blue Flag beach (also flanked by pale coastal cliffs). For charter guests wanting to explore the antiquities of the area, you can see the ancient theater of Kourion, complete with mosaics, monuments, and temples. The Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates also sits on the outskirts of the ancient city. Beautiful churches and lots of rambling and walking options also mark Episkopi on the map.
Across the clear blue waters of beautiful Lefkada, the small island of Meganisi calls out a siren song, tempting sailors with her pretty curved beaches, seafront taverners, and sleepy way of life. Meganisi is shaped like a flower with each petal providing hidden bays and sheltered spots for swimming and snorkeling in warm waters. While only 20km in size, this gauzy Greek island has a lot going for it. Be sure to visit Vathy, the island’s most charming village where yachts love to drop anchor and bob against the local painted fishing vessels. Admire the church of Agios Ioannis originally built in the 15th century before being decimated by pirates. Take a tender to the sea cave of Papanikolis and be sure to kick back on the blissful beaches of Fanari, Spilia, and Herniades.
Wedged between the impossible blues of the Ionian Sea and the tree-dashed slopes, the traditional town of Sivota. With its buzzing bright harbor and a carved coastline dotted with sunbeds and stashed away coves, beach lovers will be in their element in Sivota. Being a punctuation mark in the midst of the Riviera of Epirus also earns Sivota top marks. With its sprawling forests, rolling mountains, and ancient history riddled with rivers and pretty villages, this is a fairytale Greece at its finest. For charter guests seeking the best beaches in town head for the white sandy shores of Karavostasi.
