Fanari Things to Do

Beach
Although the beach life on a holiday to Fanari amounts to just a few small and simple rocky coves (good for snorkelling and fishing), other beaches close-by where you can swim, enjoy a range of water sports, or share long romantic shoreline strolls with that special someone include: Katovothres Beach, Kalaminia Beach, and the fabulous beaches at Lassi.
 
Lighthouse
How many holiday resorts can offer a picture-book lighthouse as a ‘must see’ site? Not many. Fanari can. In fact, visitors to Fanari often remark upon the important role the lighthouse at Fanari plays in making the south-west coast of Kefalonia so popular. Fine views of the port and coast are complemented with stunning sunsets, all from the lighthouse area!
 
Katovothres Sinkholes
Imagine large quantities of blue seawater suddenly disappearing through holes in the ground, travelling to an unknown depth, and then dramatically reappearing on the other side of the island. That’s exactly what happens at the Katovothres sinkholes on the Lassi peninsula near Fanari. Make a trip to the sinkholes a definite on your holiday ‘to do’ list, and be dazzled by what is one of the planet’s rarest geological phenomena.
 
Nightlife
Fanari is far from being a youth ‘party party’ holiday resort. But that’s part of the reason tourists return there for their holiday break year after year. If letting your hair down and dancing to throbbing music at a great disco is what you fancy, then you can find all that at Argostoli. And for those seeking quiet evenings enjoying a drink and a tasty meal at a bar, traditional taverna or restaurant, head for nearby Lassi which can offer you all that and more.
 
Turtle Spotting
As an interesting and fun activity, how about joining other holidaymakers for an hour or two’s turtle spotting at nearby Lassi? Other excursions from Fanari include boat trips to Ithaca Island, morning strolls through local picturesque villages, and afternoons topping up your tan on the red sand beach at Li.
