About This Island

Petalas Island, also listed under Dulichium Island, is the largest of the Echinades – an archipelago found in the Ionian Sea. Here, winding coastlines facilitate sailing adventures, and turquoise waters harbour an abundance of marine life. Dulichium’s foremost feature is its impressive size, spanning a staggering 1335 acres and rising to a high point of 250 metres above sea level. A property of such size poses the question of development. Fortunately for keen developers, 5,100,000 square metres of the island’s total 5,400,000 have been declassified by the Greek Forestry Bureau. This designation opens the door to future construction. Furthermore, there is an existing precedent for the land to be parcelled into 10,000-square-metre lots, with each featuring a 130-square-metre home. Though, any genuine interest in the future development of Petalas Island would have to be properly reviewed. Currently, the property has no roads and no utility infrastructure. There are, however, several sandy beaches, small bays, and natural harbours. Subscribe to get updated with the latest islands for sale in Greece
