Petani Beach
About
Petani Beach – located in the north‑western part of Kefalonia – offers a stunning stretch of white pebbles and crystal‑clear waters backed by rugged limestone cliffs. The gentle slope makes it a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and family picnics, while its dramatic evening sunsets paint the sea in vivid hues, creating a memorable experience for both families and solo visitors. With two adjacent tavernas serving full meals, drinks, and snacks, guests can relax after a day in the sun. Parking is available by the road or in nearby dedicated spots, though it can become busy during peak season. Petani is often praised for its pristine beauty, making it a smaller‑sized cousin to the famed Myrtos Beach.
