The Municipality of Petra is situated to the northwest part of the island. It is consisted of the villages of Petra, of Lafiona - Ypsilometopo, Anaxos - Skoutaro, and Petri - Stypsi. Before we take down the hill, on our way to Petra, we have the chance to admire the view over the village facing the open sea, decorated by the wide beach, the rich vegetation, the cultivations of the villagers and the chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the "Glykofilousa", situated on the top of a high rock in the middle of the village. During the last years, the village of Petra has been developed in a modern summer resort. In the summer, a lot of tourists visit this place, which is the "centre of amusement" with a lot of bars, taverns and restaurants. Also you must visit the churches, the museum, the τον Agro-tourist Woman's Cooperative, to admire the architecture  and to live the traditions.
