An extremely picturesque coastal settlement, it is a significant tourism resort of the island with a wonderful sandy beach, with crystal clear water.

 

    The coastal area is full of toursim accommodation and fish taverns. From there a secondary road at the Southern guides us at the picturesque coast of Mikri Tsichranda

   It is only 3 km away from Petra which is a seaside village built in the middle of a green plain, which according to tradition, it was the Achilles' anchorage during the war of Troy. 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.

    Just opposite the beach of Petra there are three isolated islands. The biggest of them is called the island of St George. Caiques and fish boats that start from the port of Petra make regular trips to those islands. The visitor has the possibility to organize excursions and to spend the night in the open air. In Petra he will have his portrait made. He can either make sports or go for shopping. Also you must visit the churches, the museum, the τον Agro-tourist Woman's Cooperative, to admire the architecture  and to live the traditions.
