Q: How much does it cost to visit Myrtos Beach (Paralía Mirtos) in 2025?

Myrtos Beach is free to visit. Bus sightseeing tours that stop at the beach start from US$51, while smaller group tours with food tastings tend to cost US$75. Private tours with personalizable itineraries begin at US$150, typically last an entire day, and include lunch.

Q: Can I rent sunbeds or umbrellas at Myrtos Beach?

Yes, you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas at Myrtos Beach in the high season—usually from May through October. It's a good idea to bring cash to pay for them, though vendors might accept credit cards. There are also toilets and showers that you can use for free.

Q: Is Myrtos Beach family-friendly, and is the water safe for children?

Myrtos Beach is not the best area beach for families. The water gets deep suddenly, and the beach is subject to strong winds, creating larger waves and currents unsuitable for younger travelers or those without much swimming experience.

Q: Are there parking options near Myrtos Beach, and how accessible is the beach from parking?

There is a public parking lot above Myrtos Beach. However, spaces fill up quickly, so you must arrive early to secure one. It's also a steep walk down to the sand from the parking lot, so this beach might not be the best option for travelers with limited mobility.

Q: Can I bring food and drinks to Myrtos Beach, or are there nearby restaurants?

Yes, you can bring food and drinks to Myrtos Beach. It's best to bring everything you need to enjoy the beach, including snacks, ample water, sunscreen, and towels. There is a rustic beach bar on Myrtos Beach, but it follows irregular opening hours even in peak season.

A fantastic day on a beautiful island!

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on our first trip to Kefalonia. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with our guide Ouan. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He made helpful suggestions that allowed us to make the most of our time on the island. We loved visiting Dragarati Cave and Myrtos Beach, both of which were unlike anything we have ever seen. We would highly recommend this tour and this tour company to everyone and anyone!

Gorgeous water but rocky beach

This was a coach bus tour with 30 others to a white pebble rocky beach. There is not sand so bring shoes or sneakers to wear in water! Water was crystal clear, blue & gorgeous. They had showers, bathrooms & snacks. By the time we got there no chairs or umbrellas left. One hour bus ride was enjoyable and scenic.

Wonderful Experience!!!

We had the BEST experience. Our tour guide was Katarina. Not only did she bring us to and from each location with optimal time, she was so, SO knowledgeable. I felt like she took us through time and gave us a great foundation on the town and its history. I’d highly recommend booking this tour if you’d like an informative, engaging experience! Not to mention the beauty of the Melissani Cave was breathtaking. We are grateful for our experience!
