Petani Beach

Παραλία Πετανοί

A white pebble bay on the west coast of the Paliki Peninsula, framed by steep green hills; it sees fewer visitors and offers superb sunsets facing west.

Petani Beach lies on the west coast of the Paliki Peninsula. Its crescent of white pebbles is backed by steep green hills, and the water shades from emerald to deep blue. The scenery rivals Myrtos, but it sees far fewer visitors. Facing west, it is especially beautiful at sunset. Two small tavernas sit on the beach, and parasols can be rented. The seabed drops away steeply, so it suits confident swimmers. It is about a 25-minute drive from Lixouri, with the final stretch on a steep winding road.
