Katelios Village
The charming coastal village of Katelios is renowned for a number of exceptional beachfront fish tavernas, making it a relaxing spot for a pleasant visit to try some of the delicious local cuisine.
After a day on one of the many outstanding beaches in Skala, Lourdas or Mounda, this peaceful resort is perfect for a stroll along the little beachside lane, deciding which of the several inviting tavernas to dine at. Unsurprisingly for a fishing village, all of them serve the freshest fish and other seafood, alongside barbecued meat, a wide range of traditional dishes and vegetarian specialties. Rest assured, wherever you pick, a cosy beachside table and tasty local cuisine await you.
There are also a couple of rather smart cocktail bars open for coffee in the morning and drinks before or after dinner, and you will find a few little shops to browse as well as a bakery offering tempting syrupy pastries and the famous Kefalonian meat pies to take away.
For those wishing to spend a whole beach day in the bay, the shingle and sand beach is furnished with some sunbeds and umbrellas, and if you take the path over the rocks and around the headland you arrive at a sandy beach with shallow, calm water, ideal for children. (The beach can also be reached by car via the top road). The extreme ends of the beaches on the other hand, are sufficiently private for those looking to acquire an ‘all over’ sun tan.
Katelios is a 5-minute drive from Mounda & Kaminia beach, where you will find a wide sandy bay with excellent beachside tavernas. A little further along, the larger village of Skala comes with the most fabulous, long stretch of beach with watersports, sunbeds, and a couple of cool bars and excellent tavernas along the beach road overlooking the clear, turquoise sea. Skala’s old village square also features more traditional tavernas and gives visitors to the area a taste of local life.
