Nestled on the north coast of Cephalonia, Myrtos Beach (Paralía Mirtos) is a 0.5-mile (700-meter) stretch of gleaming white pebbles and coarse sand, framed by two high promontories. The beach’s striking appearance is due to its rounded pebbles, which create a brilliant contrast against the blue Ionian Sea. Visitors can enjoy the spectacular view from the water, taking in the dramatic cliffs and the sweeping curve of the shoreline. This picturesque setting makes Myrtos Beach a frequent entry on lists of the world’s best beaches.
