Lassi is a purpose built resort and is close to or on some of the best beaches on Kefalonia. Lassi has a lot to offer from sweeping bays to small sheltered coves, sun beds, umbrellas and water sports are available -the water is warm and clear.

To get out and about to see the island Lassi has many car rental companies offering small cars and open top jeeps as well as scooters to comb the island.
