Myrtos in Kefalonia
When you see Myrtos from the street above, it is love at first sight. The long sandy beach with the turquoise waters, the golden sand and the steep cliffs, looks like hidden in the arms of the cove.

But Shipwreck Beach is not only a stunning beach, one of the most photographed in Greece or maybe its trademark together with Acropolis. It is also a base jump for the lovers of extreme sports. And guess what. Is there a better photo to take there than yourself jumping in the endless blue?
Karetta karetta in Zakynthos
For the lovers of the wildlife, Zakynthos is an exquisite place. It is the island, and especially Laganas Beach and Marathonissi, where the rare species of sea turtle karetta karetta lives and lays its eggs. There are some spaces on the beaches that are protected, without sunbeds and umbrellas, but the most fascinating fact is that you can take the boat in Laganas Beach and see the sea turtles swim carefree. From my personal experience, this was the cutest thing I have ever done during my summer vacation.
Emerald sea waters in Paxoi
Paxoi is the small island on northern Aegean Sea that impresses -in addition to other reasons- for its emerald sea waters. Yes, they are emerald, not blue! Voutoumi is one of the tropical beaches in Paxoi, where the white sand meets the crystal waters and the sun creating a landscape that makes you feel like spending your holidays in Hawaii.

Corfu Old Town is a legend, and you will understand it only if you visit it and feel its aristocratic elegance.
