The blond-sand shore between Lourdata and Skala

Koroni lies on the southern coast of Kefalonia, between Lourdata and Skala, about 22 kilometres from Argostoli. It is a sandy beach of fine blond and coarse sand with rocks, on a stretch of coast that has stayed largely undeveloped.

It stretches along the bay of Mounda on the island's southern side, with an open horizon over the Ionian Sea. Because the surrounding villages sit well back from the sea, Koroni has kept its plain, natural character, while the wider bay is reported as a nesting ground for the loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta.

Access is by a dirt road whose condition can change, with parking near the beach. It is not an organized beach.

About this beach

Koroni is exposed in the maistros — often choppy on summer NW/W afternoons. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.

The bay at Koroni opens to the south-west, so it usually has natural cover from northerly, north-easterly and north-westerly winds.

Koroni has sand and pebbles underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.

For amenities, Koroni has an organised beach, sunbeds, natural shade and parking nearby.
