Myrtos Beach – Kefalonia/Cephalonia
As waves curve along the beach they also pick up the finest bits of marble; this creates sediment plumes that follow the curve of the beach with the direction of the waves giving the water the most invitingΒ shade of turquoise.

Myrtos has been described as “one of the most dramatic beaches in Greece”, with its “mile-and-a-half long arc of dazzling white pebbles.”
It was used as the location for the mine explosion episode in the film Captain Corelliβs Mandolin ~Wikipedia
Gorgeous spot, Jude. I do love turquoise water. π
The most turquoise water I have ever seen is not so far from you Sylvia – along the keys in Florida. Took my breath away, but I was in a coach so couldn’t get any photos.
That shade of turquoise water takes my breath away. β€ Stunning.
It’s a very pretty colour. Instantly makes you feel warm!
*nods*
Never seen that Jude, makes me want to get on a plane immediately. Beautiful colours.
Regards as always, Pete. x
Not seen the film Pete?
I have caught snippets on TV showings, but it’s not really ‘my thing’ Jude. x
Actually the book is far better.
The water’s colour is so beautiful!
I think we are all agreed on that Aletta π Now there must be some water that colour near you?
Inviting indeed … π
Fancy a dip?
Great minds think alike Jude! I’m just preparing some photos from Rhodes and Kos for this Challenge π Kefalonia is on my “to visit” list!
So many lovely Greek Islands, and so many beautiful beaches.
And one day will visit them all π
An island hopping holiday!
An extended holiday perhaps π
Early retirement for you? Imagine a year out to explore them and write a daily blog about your adventures – not to mention the wonderful photo opps π
Beautiful turquoise water, Jude! π most inviting….
Come on in Sue, I’m sure the water is still warm π

That curve. Those hills. The reddish-brown vegetation. That winding road. And then the turquoise and white. Inviting indeed. Oh the places I haven’t been!
You and me both! Still I hope to fit a few more places in, as I am sure so do you!
Stunning! That water looks crystal clear.
It did look fantastic – a long trek down though.
Looks like we’re all agreed, turquoise sea is hard to resist. Beautiful Jude!
Yep! Turquoise seas gets everyone’s vote. Now where can I find some?
