Lassi - Kefalonia

Lassi as a resort has developed due to its amazing beaches of golden sand. The two main beaches are Makris Yialos (Greek for 'long sandy beach') and Platis Yialos (wide sandy beach). The beach shelves gently into beautifully clear and clean waters providing a safe haven for children. The beaches are accessed at various points by steps or slopes and these are well sign-posted from the lanes that run parallel to the main road which runs from Lassi into Argostoli.

On the beaches of Lassi the area is divided up into different territories according to the operator's licence to offer catering facilities, rent out beach equipment or operate water-sports. Parts of the sandy beach are 'free seating' where you can take your beach-mat and own sun-shade. Other areas have been set up with sun-beds and beach umbrellas in place and in orderly lines. The largest of these is in the centre of Makris Yialos beach and has a snack bar with red, yellow and blue beach-umbrellas in front. 

The Albatros water-sport centre is situated next to the Stavento beach bar (which offers a delivery service on the beach!) and below The Staircase beach bar and Kalafatis Taverna both of which have great positions offering superb views as you sip your cool drink.
Here you can learn to water-ski and have fun on the Jet-skis. If there is a group of you, a whiz round the bay on a 'banana' or 'doughnuts' bouncing along on the water behind the speed boat is great fun. If you want a more leisurely pace and a longer time for your money, take a trip out on a pedaloe. If you are with children, take a pedaloe with a water-slide and create your own floating water-park!

Water-ski lessons are on a wake-board and cost from 30 euro with a free ski if you have learned how to do it! After that, it's 20 euro for 10 mins. water-ski. The Jet-skis take one or two persons for 15 minutes and this costs 35 or 40 euro. The Oxoon Hydro-Jet is 25 euro for half an hour. Water sports equipment hire starts at 5 euro for a pedaloe and 10 euro for a ride on the banana.

The beach at Platis Yialos is operated by the local town council and is kept meticulously clean. The employees seem to have a great respect for the beach and water its flowering borders and keep a watchful eye out for a stray piece of litter. The beach has a row of changing rooms and showers on a platform above the rocks. The council runs the café and the sunbed and beach-umbrella hire. On this beach there is 'free seating' everywhere so you can choose whether to hire beach equipment for the day or take your own beach umbrella. This beach tends to attract the locals and gets busier at the weekends. It is below the hotel White Rocks which has its 'own' private strip of beach known as Tourkopotharo offering free sun-beds and beach umbrellas to the hotel's guests.
