Experience from June 2011: Do not stay at the textile beach just below the cantina. The nude part of the beach [Megali Petra] is located to the left (south) across the rocky ground. You have to walk by a barely visible footpath about 200 metres through the rocks, so you will need good shoes. But you will be greatly rewarded if you do. The beach [Megali Petra] is beautiful and 100% nude.

Kavalikefta is a wonderful beach which now (2014) has plenty of people wearing swimsuits. Many women are topless, but don't confuse topless with nude beach. When we arrived (early), at the first section of the beach there were about 60 bathers all wearing swimsuits. At the end of this section are the 5-6 spectacular rocks that you can go up (I don't suggest it). We decided to undress before these rocks. After us came a nudist family and another nudist couple and did the same. One hour later three nudist couples came at the beach just after Kavalikefta [Megali Petra], because this beach isn't visible from the main beach. Although we were few (12-15 nudist between more than 150 dressed people), the beach is wonderful, maybe better than Egremni. The place is touristy and a part of the dressed bathers who came to see the rocks, looked persistently at our private parts but who cares! So go there and keep the beach nudist!

2019 May: Repairs to road before the Avali turn off (see Kathisma September 2016 report) appear to have been completed and we had no problem getting through. Even in our small 2WD car we didn’t find the drive as difficult as some reports suggest. That said, there were no other vehicles around and being narrow with relatively few passing places it is undoubtedly more difficult when the road is busier in peak season.

The taverna wasn't open but work was underway to get it ready so it is probably opening soon. I walked along the shore from Megali Petra to the southern end of Kavalikefta. Even this early in the season there were a few groups of people on the beach… 100% textile so I didn't feel comfortable to venture further and returned to Megali Petra.

2021 October: A small section of the road down to the café at Kavalikefta Beach has partly collapsed. A rudimentary repair has been made by filling with rock and gravel but although it is still passable we decided to leave our small hire car further back and walk.
