Petalidi, Messinia: Plot for sale, even and buildable, in a residential zone, Area 316sq.m., frontage, with building factor 1.2, building square footage 122sq.m., coverage factor 60%, height factor 7.5m. + 1.5 m roof, at a distance of 190 m from the sea. A few words about the area: The picturesque Petalidi is 13 km from Messina and 28 km from Kalamata. It is a seaside town (with about 1000 permanent residents) which combines mountain, sea and plain. It is probable that Petalidi owes its name to the horseshoe-shaped shape of its coast. Just in front of the little port of Petalidi is the small beach of the same name, where the visitor can enjoy swimming in the clear waters with the pebbly coast, 300 meters long. Above Petalidi (near the settlement of Agia Sotira) is the Petalidi Castle, also known as Pera Castle or Leone Castle. In fact, Kontoglou also mentions it as the Castle of Panyperi (which is a nearby village). It is a castle with an almost rectangular shape, without battlements, where inside it can be seen the ruins of buildings, an arched tank and possibly the ruins of a small temple. In Petalidi, the visitor can see the Outdoor Archaeological Collection (where finds from the ancient Koroni are housed), as well as the Fountain of the Liar, which is located at the southern end of the beach of the same name and is a reference point. The water of the tap descends from the Taygetos and ends up crystal clear at the two outlets of the tap. The town square is dominated by the two Byzantine churches of Agios Nikolaos and Zoodochos Pigi (Church of Panagia Petalidiotissa). The Virgin of Petalidi has been the Ephorus and Patron of Messina for centuries, while the residents honor the miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Zoodochos Pigi on Friday of the Intercalary Week.
