Keys facts about Petra
The coast is calling
A long stretch of beach fronts Petra, seducing visitors with its twinkling azure waters and soft sand. Bars and restaurants form its spine, each with their own set of loungers and parasols for lazing in the sunshine. Stick around for sunset, the view is spectacular and made even better with a cocktail or two.
Meander to Molivos
Hop aboard the blue and white tourist train that trundles towards Molivos daily. Enjoy the views along the way as you head up the coast to this centuries-old town that sits pretty on a harbour. It’s worth hiking up to the 14th-century castle overlooking Molivos for sweeping vistas, before heading down to explore the labyrinth-like centre that charms with its cobbled passageways and flower-filled balconies.
