Petalas Island** is the largest private island in Greece, located in the Ionian Sea. Covering an area of approximately 5.4 million square meters (5400 hectares), the island is known for its natural beauty, with around 4,000 olive trees and surrounded by clear blue waters. It stands out as a unique island in the region.

Petalas Island is privately owned, with 85% of it belonging to the Tsaoussis family, while the remaining 15% is under the ownership of the nearby island of Kefalonia. Its exclusivity and size make it one of the most remarkable private islands in Greece.

Some, including William Martin Leake, have suggested that Petalas is the site of ancient Dulichium, from which 40 ships sailed to Troy in the Iliad. However, Strabo and most modern authors have identified Dulichium as Makri, a nearby island in the Echinades.
