We landed here after hearing how wonderful the beach was. Although we are out of season and nothing was open here, the beach was deserted so we had it to ourselves. It didn’t disappoint- we went in a fairly windy day and the waves were amazing. And the blue of the sea - the pictures don’t do it justice. I can imagine in summer it would be packed but late April and September, the locals say is best time to come. Things are more open and weather is not windy.

We stopped on the road well above the beach for a photo op. Yes, the location surrounded on three sides by steep sandstone cliffs is quite spectacular and the azure waters of the Ionian Sea amazingly beautiful but I don't believe it ranks in the world's Top 10 beaches as our guide intimated!!!! Great photos though!!

We went in may when the beach wasn’t busy and nor was the road in…I imagine it could be different in the peak season. Steep descent down…but the road better than many others we have done this week. Lots of (free) parking. Stunning views. Crystal clear water and a great cave off at the far end (south). Toilets weren’t open though yet (just a dodgy portaloo) and although it looks like there will be a bar, not open yet. Can imagine it would be an amazing spot to watch sun go down. Main recommendation is to take good beach footwear…the stories about the pebbles are true. Have to confess I was crawling out of the sea on all fours.

Great extra large with white pebbles beach. Really beautiful colour of the water. Scenery is amazing. Not great to walk on the pebbles though. Also a bit hard to park in high season.

A little disappointed. Stunning views of the beach from the top but when you go down you realise it isn’t a sandy beach but white pebbles which give it the white sand effect. Very uncomfy to lie on as there are no sun beds here. The many coaches bringing tourists descend on the beach so like ants and the entrance into the water is impossible without water shoes and then the water is cloudy with poor visibility for snorkelling. It makes a great photo but that’s it

Absolutely stunning beach, pure white pebbles creating a spectacular array of colours of the sea. Well worth the visit just to see it. When we went swimming was not possible due to the waves but it was still very busy. Be prepared for limited parking even though the parking area along the beach is big, and very narrow and windy road down.

Stunning beach. We went early, arrived at about 10am and parking was fine. Got ourselves a couple of beds and a shade and stayed there all day. The sea is warm (July). There is a beach bar at the back of the beach and also toilets and showers.

Anyone visiting Myrtos Beach in July and expecting it not to be busy has some seriously unrealistic expectations I would suggest. Yes, the beach was busy but to be honest I've seen more packed beaches in the UK at the first sign of sun. I can also see that if you drive down it is perhaps quite stressful given the hairpin bends and amount of cars but this is not the beach's fault. We took a taxi from Fiskardo, which cost 45 Euros each way and took approx 40 minutes. The beach is in a beautiful location. It is a shingle beach, so beach shoes were useful. The sea was blue, clean and clear. There were plenty of sunbeds, which were very reasonable at 10 Euros for 2 plus a parasol. The beach cafe was clean, well stocked with drinks and snacks and we didn't experience (or see) any long queues. Toilets are of the portaloo type but again were clean and stocked with toilet paper. Perhaps previous reviewers had a particularly bad experience but it was certainly not ours, we had a lovely day. The earlier you arrive, the quieter it is.

Great beach with stunning views! Sea was nice and warm too. We went at 5pm and although it was still very hot, it wasn’t too busy. The roads are tight to get up and down there so if you are not a confident driver be warned! Some great views on the drive otherwise. There are changing and WC facilities down there which are free to use which is handy too. Definitely worth a visit if you are in kefalonia.

According to most it is the most beautiful beach in Kefalonia and one of the best in Greece. In fact the water has beautiful colors typical of the Mediterranean sea but in my opinion it comes after Petani beach. There is a choice between a free or equipped beach, the prices are modest, in line with those of Kefalonia, between 10 and 15 euros for an umbrella and 2 sunbeds. Like many beaches on the island it’s made of pebbles.
