The south coast of Kefalonia via boasts a string of sandy
bays and beaches but only limited development to date (Skala is the only
place approaching a 'resort' here). The beach stretches for about a kilometre
and sunbeds are available for rent. Slightly inland, the original village
is an attractive little place and boasts a very traditional square shaded
by a pine trees, three good tavernas and a mini-market. Lourdas essentially
offers a quiet relaxed holiday with an excellent beach, fine views, scenic
surrounds and limited (mainly taverna-based) nightlife. For further exploration
of the island, or of the many other beaches along the coast here, car
hire is advised as the bus service is limited.
