Description
The azure and turquoise waters around this gorgeous Greek Island are just a dream away as we are unable to travel in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. But, dreams are free!
We drove down a steep, winding, hairpin-bend but well-made road leading to Petani Beach on the Greek Ionian Island of Kefalonia. Soon we realised that we had found a gem of a location. There are many lovely places around the shores of the Greek Islands, but many can only be accessed by boat. This was one of the few that could be reached from land.
There was a small taverna on the water's edge - it actually catered for the cast and crew during the filming of 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' - which was so unspoilt. This was one of those lucky finds one occasionally comes across.
Petani Beach (also spelled Petanoi) is situated in the North West of the Paliki, in Kefalonia, Greece. The nearest large town is Lixouri.
The beach is set at the base of a very steep road, surrounded by mountains, in a curved bay with a strip of pebble and sand beach which is up to 50M wide in places. The beach is about 600M long, with the central part being used by swimmers.
Petani beach is recognised for its great beauty, with many visitors comparing it with a smaller version of Myrtos Beach. It is a blue-flag beach. A favoured activity is evening swimming before watching changing colours on the sea as the sun sets in the West.
