Petani Beach

Petani Beach is a sandy shore on Kefalonia's Paliki peninsula, characterized by white sand framed by steep limestone cliffs and a curved bay shape. The shoreline extends roughly 600 meters and reaches about 50 meters wide in some areas.

The beach received its first Blue Flag certification in 2018 and has maintained this status through ongoing environmental compliance. This recognition reflects a sustained commitment to water quality and beach management standards.

Two tavernas on the beach serve traditional Greek dishes and fresh seafood, allowing visitors to sample local Mediterranean cooking directly by the shore.

Access to the beach requires driving a steep, winding road with hairpin turns that leads to parking near tavernas or a paid parking lot. Visitors should expect slow, careful navigation along this challenging route.

The water depth increases sharply from the shoreline, creating distinct color variations across the sea that become more intense during sunset. These changing hues make the water particularly striking at the end of the day.
