By Kefalonian standards, Lassi is a bustling and popular resort with plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. It has a lot to offer, from sweeping bays to small sheltered coves, and boasts some of the most outstanding beaches on the island.
The two main beaches are Makris Yialos (meaning long sandy beach) and Platis Yialos (wide sandy beach). Both have beautiful golden shorelines which shelve gently into clear, clean waters, making them ideal for children. The beaches are also a centre for a wide variety of watersports, bringing Lassi a lively mix of families and the more adventurous holidaymaker.
SunIsle have specially selected properties which are located just outside Lassi itself in a quiet rural position. These provide that all-important combination of a secluded, peaceful place to stay with easy access to all the facilities that Lassi has to offer.
