Unconfirmed but I heard the road down to Myrtos opened today, the main road to Fiskardo at the end of the month (not too sure about that one).

Just saw a picture of Myrtos on FB from today with lots cars at the back of the beach, so I expect it's open.

Yes, Myrtos is open - the daughter of an old friend of mine in the UK is on Kefalonia and she messaged me on FB to say she'd been swimming there today.
