Makris Yialos Beach - GIC The Villa Collection

From Lassi to Scala the south coast has a series of beautiful sandy beaches. Easily accessible by car, these beaches have the dramatic backdrop of Mount Aenos and foothills of olive groves, vineyards and cypress trees. Makris Yialos and Lassi are conveniently close to the airport (a ten minute drive) and have the distractions of a popular resort with watersports and an extensive selection of tavernas, bars and shops. For a more traditional atmosphere the elegant capital town of Argostoli is only a five minute drive over the hill and has some excellent tavernas (fresh seafood a speciality), cafes, bars and museum. Argostoli can also be reached by a longer but rewarding coastal footpath.
