If Antisamos Beach looks like it is just out of a movie, it is?—the stunning blue and green waters, the surrounding green hills, and lush vegetation all appear in a few scenes of the film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin starring Nicholas Cage and Penelope Cruz. Set 17 miles east from Argostoli and accessible from a coastal road in the port town of Sami, the idyllic destination invites sun-worshippers to stay awhile with comfortable chairs, shady umbrellas, and a water sports center. Those seeking refreshing food and drink can take a short stroll to the beachside Mojito Beach Bar and Restaurant.
