Avithos – Relaxing beach resort near the capital
Avithos is a few miles south of Argostoli, on the south-west coast of Kefalonia. Holidays in Avithos attract beach lovers and families with children looking for a simple stretch of good sand with safe swimming, limited facilities and restrained development. Avithos holidays offer a calm alternative to the bigger more established resorts.
Avithos holidays – A choice of fine sandy beaches
Avithos holidays can enjoy superb beaches within walking distance. Avithos beach and neighbouring secluded Megalipetra beach are uncrowded stretches of fine golden sand with exceptionally shallow water perfect for children. The islet of Dias sits prettily a short way out to sea. Nearby Ammes beach is sandy and pleasant and Helis beach is another good option. Avithos beaches have the occasional waterside taverna but nothing too obtrusive of the general calm. A short drive brings you to Makris Yialos beach which is livelier and offers watersports.
Holidays in Avithos – Beautiful countryside and unpretentious villages
Popular Avithos holiday activities are walking and cycling. Bicycles are a good way of exploring the area and visiting nearby beaches. Avithos holidays appeal to nature lovers as there are many quiet paths to reach beaches and to explore this attractive peaceful region of flowers, herbs, fertile olive groves, citrus plantations and birdlife. Holidays in Avithos should take time to visit some of the charming villages just inland like Svoronata, Koukoumelata, Metaxata and Caligata with their flowers and simple tavernas. If your Avithos holiday needs livening up, the resort of Lassi is 5 miles away and the capital Argostoli is just a mile further along the coast from there.
