Foki Beach near Fiskardo. Stop at the Foki Taverna for a delicious lunch before you take a dip.

Museums

Kefalonia doesn’t harbour the equivalent of the British Museum or the Louvre - for that you should go to Athens and some of the other major archeological sites, but there are nevertheless many interesting places to visit that retrace the island’s history and showcase the island’s natural attributes.
