Lassi, Kefalonia. Greece.
On the southwest coast of Kefalonia, graciously looking out into the Ionian Sea is Lassi, a spectacular beach island resort which draws holidaymakers back year on year.
A quick 30 minute transfer from the airport will bring you to Lassi, where you can begin a fantastic beach orientated holiday, great for couples, friendship groups and families alike. Sprawled around five bays and lying just off the main coastal road to the capital Argostoli, Lassi is an idyllic purpose-built resort to provide a base to your holiday.
The main draw for holidays here is the lively atmosphere along the beach. Five great sandy beaches are available for you to prop up a sun bed, sit back, relax, and watch the children paddling in the shallow waters. Swimming and snorkelling are fantastic here as the water is warm and crystal clear.
For anyone wanting to add a bit of excitement to their days, join in some water sports fun such as jet-skiing, waterskiing or even hop on a banana boat! Take a break from the hot Mediterranean sun and grab a delicious snack or ice cold drink in one of the plentiful beach bars.
If you’re interested in the culture here, take a visit to Saint Gerassimos Monastery, built by Saint Gerassimos when he stayed in a cave on the shores of Lassi. Fantastic views and marvellous architecture are definitely to be admired. Other day trips include a visit to Argostoli, the cosmopolitan capital, and the Drogorati Caves, a set of mystical underground caverns which have been transformed to hold classical concerts and opera.
Staying in Lassi means you’re spoilt for choice with restaurants serving all ranges of Greek cuisine, from traditional homemade delights to upmarket seafood dishes. Many bars and a few clubs are dotted throughout Lassi, offering mainly Greek dancing, outdoor concerts and live music. However for a livelier after dark scene, nearby Argostoli provides plenty of late night clubs; and even Skala on the south coast boasts some fun evening entertainment.
If you’re one to immerse yourself in activities rather than spending all day on the beach, there’s a lot to offer in Lassi. Walking, cycling and horse riding through the hills to inland villages are all available and many visitors like to venture out to explore either privately or within a tour group.
Couples looking for accommodation in Lassi can grab themselves an all-inclusive hotel deal. Families may prefer a half-board hotel complex while groups of friends might be interested in a cheap self-catering apartment or studio.
