A few kilometers from Molyvos is the village of Petra and something is going on here. While the local government in Molyvos has decided that their village is fine and are content to sit back and count their money, the government in Petra has taken steps to improve the quality of life in their village and make the area even more attractive for tourism. Rather than let the motorbikes disturb the peace of the town they have closed off the center of the village to traffic and diverted through-traffic to the outskirts of the village.
