The beach of Agia Ierousalim, “Yarosali” for the locals, nestles in a landscape of great beauty and tranquility, and as it is located in the west side offers a wonderful sunset.

On the edge of the beach there is also the homonymous stone chapel. It was built in the 11th century by the Normandy crusader Robert Guiscard by whom Fiscardo was named. There are two versions of the relation between Guiscard and the area. According to one version, Guiscard got sick, and in order to heal he asked to drink water from the well that still exists today, but he did not succeed. According to the other version, there was a prophecy that when he stepped his foot in Jerusalem he would die. Considering that the prophecy meant Agia Ierouslim, he believed that Kefalonia was safe, but died when he went to this beach, which has since been named Agia Ierouslim.

The beach is pebbly and is divided into two parts by some rocks. The evergreen nature around makes the water seem turquoise. The rocky seabed that hosts hippopotamuses and many other types of marine life is ideal for diving. Due to the winds in the area, the beach can often have a bit of tar, which is not, however, an essential obstacle for those who love nature. In her harbor often fishing boats find shelter moving in the area and often bring fresh fish. The beach offers umbrellas and sun loungers, while the unique family tavern, in addition to delicious food and jars with handmade sweets, offers a shower and a campground for campers.

Agia Ierousalim, along with its nearby but quite different Alaties Beach, are a good choice for those who prefer to escape in a quiet and enchanting environment with easy access, just a short drive from the bustling Fiskardo.
