Myrtos Beach* is a must see spectacle for the visitor of Kefalonia island, since its dazzling turquoise waters are famous around the world. It has been voted 12 times the best Greek beach. Being featured in best beaches lists around the world, it was also used as a location in the film "Captain Corelli’s Mandolin".

The magnificent view starts to appear as soon as one reaches the top of the mountain road and starts to drive downhill. Somehow, I was lucky that day because large white cloud formations dramatized the scenery even more.
