Reasonably priced for a beach bar. The surroundings are amazing. The sea is so blue and clear. Good bar with shade to have a nice cold drink and baguette. Even though goodgle says its closed it was open today.

It's not that hard

Watermill is an absolute gem tucked away on the beautiful Ai Helis Beach in Kefalonia. Whether you’re stopping by for a refreshing cocktail or a perfectly brewed coffee, this beach bar hits the mark every time. The cocktail selection is impressive, with a wide variety that suits every taste—from tropical blends to more classic options. Each drink is carefully crafted and presented with style. If you’re a coffee lover, you’re in for a treat: Dimitris makes one of the best coffees on the island. Smooth, rich, and always just right—plus, he’s a genuinely kind and welcoming guy who adds to the charm of the place. Service is another standout feature at Watermill. Nina is incredibly fast, friendly, and always attentive, even when the place is buzzing with activity. You never feel like you’re waiting long, which is a huge plus when you’re relaxing on the beach and just want to enjoy the moment.

Nice sandy beach, lovely warm sea, steep steps to access though from free car park at the top right of the cliff. Decent beach bar 30m from the sea, ice cold drinks and snacks available, €8 for 2 sunbeds and parasol for the day, reasonable IMO. Toilets, ice creams, 2 fresh water showers, beach volleyball and some lovely views of the Ionian sea. Chilled. Nice.
