Only twenty minutes drive south of Argostoli will lead you to the dramatic
stretch of southern coastline. The slopes of Mount Aenos descend to the
Robola vineyards, olive groves and tall cypress trees, and the beautiful
beach of Trapezaki which means small table in Greek. The name has been
given to the part of the beach which is on the right side of the small
fishing port. On the other side, there is a very long beach called Kaminia
(this is not the well known turtle beach which is in Ratzakli , where turtles
lay their eggs).
The beach joins another small fishing port, Lithero, and also the vast
beach of Lourdas. Made up of shingle and sand it's a great choice for
families with safe turquoise water which is shallow and clear.
no waterports are offered at this beach.
For refreshments there is a taverna and two stalls, the first one on
Trapezaki, and the other one on the beach of Kaminia.
Trapezaki is typical of the area, being a peaceful green area on the
hillside above a sandy beach. Up on the hillside behind you will find a
choice of other restaurants and a mini-market or two.Trapezaki is more of
an area than a resort, with villas spread out over the plain, and has a
nice sandy beach and a sprinkling of bars and restaurants." The hillsides
above the beach contain clusters of houses with a mini market and a
bakery.
A good base to explore more of the island.
