Family vacations often require more planning and organization. One of the most important things is to find beaches that are “family-friendly” so that parents and their children can enjoy the sea and the basic amenities. On Kefalonia there are some beaches that you can enjoy your time as a family.
Here are some of the beaches on Kefalonia where parents and children can build sandcastles together and enjoy their holidays safely:

  • Avythos Beach: It is about 800 meters long, has clear waters, and has showers, lifeguard, toilets, umbrellas, and a restaurant. The waters deepen gradually, making it ideal for children. Access is easy from a paved road.
  • Makrys Gialos Beach: It is one of the most famous sandy beaches on the island and is awarded with a blue flag. It is ideal for the games of our little friends. The beach has a restaurant and beach bar and offers water sports. It is 3 km from Argostoli.
  • Ai Helis Beach: It has a distinctive color and shallow waters. It has sunbeds, umbrellas, and a canteen. As well as a parking area where you can easily reach from the paved road.
  • Megali Ammos Beach: It is a relatively small beach and has sunbeds, umbrellas, and a canteen. It is located near the island’s airport and has parking above the beach.
  • Platys Gialos Beach: It is next to Makrys Gialos Beach, it is also awarded! You can reach it by car and there is a designated parking area


These beaches are all well-equipped with the amenities that families need to enjoy their vacation, including:

  • Shallow waters: This is important for children’s safety, as it allows them to play in the water without fear of getting too deep.
  • Sand: Children love to build sandcastles and dig in the sand, so a sandy beach is a must-have for family vacations.
  • Amenities: Families need access to things like showers, toilets, and restaurants, so it is important to choose a beach that has these amenities.

Of course, the best way to choose a family-friendly beach is to visit it in person and see for yourself if it is a good fit for your family.
