Antisamos is one of Kefalonia's finest beaches — a pebble bay backed by thickly wooded green hills on the island's east coast, near the village of Sami. The water is the exceptional blue-green common to this part of the Ionians, and the surrounding landscape is more lush and northern-looking than the western coast.
The beach achieved wider fame when it was used as a filming location for the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin. It's accessible by road and has basic facilities — a beach bar, sun beds for hire. Combine it with a visit to the Melissani Cave and Drogarati Cave nearby, all within a few kilometres.
