A trip to the beautiful Kefalonia beach
You can find Petani beach in the northwest of Kefalonia, on the Paliki peninsula. A steep road with 11 switchbacks descends on it. The beach itself is snow-white in a beautiful cove. The central part of the beach is organized with umbrellas and sunbeds, the rest is free. Its southern part is picturesque with cliffs jutting out of the water. Ideal for snorkeling.
View of the beautiful Petani beach
You will come across a tavern right at the turnoff to Petani beach. Then you are already waiting for you to go down the mountain road towards the beach. Along the way, you will have such a beautiful view of the beach.
View from the beach to Agia Elene
From the beach there is a beautiful view of the cliffs closing the southern part of the bay. Directly below the big cliff lies another beautiful beach, Agia Elene.
The worst part of the beach
If you want some privacy, head to the northern end of Petani Beach. First you will reach another tavern, in front of which there are also a number of umbrellas. It is not surprising that there is practically no one here, it is the worst part of the beach with a stone shelf right from the shore. Then there is a small harbor and behind it are the beautiful little bays.
A cove at the northern end of the beach
A smaller rock is the isolated northern end of Petani beach, which has great charm even in the fact that there are very few people
The fairytale end of Petani beach
The very northern end is such a Kefalonian fairy tale – tiny whitish pebbles and azure blue sea.
Retrospect
Looking back, it is nice to see how this northern part is separated and distant from the frequented central part of the beach. On the hill high above the beach is the luxurious Santa Thekla Peninsula resort with a truly luxurious view of this beach.
Central part of Petani beach
We return back to the central part of the beach, where there are countless umbrellas and sunbeds. An ideal place to relax.
The southern part of Petani beach
We go to the southern part of Petani beach, where there is also beautiful swimming.
Retrospect
At the southern end, the white beach is characterized by several large boulders
The very southern end of Petani Beach
The southern end of the beach also looks very idyllic. For me, really one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.
