Cephalonia (Myrtos Beach)
Our next stop is Myrtos Beach - arguably the most beautiful location in all of Cephalonia. Due to it's remote location, you won't be able to reach it by foot - the only way to reach Myrtos Beach it is to traverse your way down a series of steep curves. If you're able to make it there however, you'll be rewarded greatly with warm waters, soft white sand, and the view of a lifetime.
The day starts early for anyone wanting a prime spot at the beach - and the roads throughout the surrounding countryside are already starting to fill up with cars.
The roads slowly start to get steeper and steeper - a sign that we're getting closer to the beach.
As we start to see scree slopes dot the surrounding hills - it means we're just about there.
We stop at an overlook and get our first good look of the beach. It's quite stunning.. but the first order of business is how to get down there.
There's only one way, and it's not for the faint of the heart. A steep road filled with hairpin curves traverses down the mountainside - and when it gets busy, it only becomes that much more intimidating. But if you can make it down to the bottom, you'll be rewarded greatly.
We're finally at the beach! We get a great spot and start soaking up the sun.

The beach in all its glory. If you can get past the huge crowds, there's really no other place like it on Cephalonia. It's a truly stunning natural wonder.
And finally, various views of the beach and surrounding countryside from above.
Myrtos Beach is truly a quite a sight to behold.
