Pick holidays to Lassi for a colourful island getaway, complete with caramel sands and turquoise waters – all wrapped in a lush green hillside.
Best in the west
Hiding just behind the island capital on Kefalonia's south-western coast, Lassi reaps the rewards of a jammy location. This Greek getaway hotspot delivers big on natural beauty, with a picture-perfect beach on its doorstep and unspoiled views across the Ionian Sea. Expect coastal kayaking, lazy sunlounging and delicious Mediterranean cuisine.
Capital calling
Sitting next door to the island capital has its perks. Argostoli's only a 20-minute stroll away and rewards the walk with stacks of bars, shops and traditional tavernas. In addition to the cocktails and treats, there are sights around every corner – a particularly picturesque example being the waterfront Lighthouse of Saint Theodoroi.
Shores to explore
Kefalonia's the largest of the Ionian Islands, and its coastline has more beaches than you can shake a sandy stick at. There are two right at Lassi's feet, each kitted out with sunloungers and snack bars. For a more secluded stretch, walk just 15 minutes north to Kalamia Beach where tree-topped cliffs hug calm turquoise waves.
