THE ISLAND OF PETULIA
Petulia Island is only 5.5 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres at its widest point. It lies in
the middle of Lake Donika, and is 3,900 metres above sea level. Petulia has had a small number
of inhabitants for over four centuries. The sun here is extremely hot during the day but
temperatures at night regularly fall well below freezing. The water of Lake Donika is 10 degrees
Celsius all year round.
Before the introduction of motorboats in the 1970s, travelling from Petulia to the nearest
port could take over 20 hours. This journey was therefore made only once a year to buy salt.
Motorboats have now cut the journey time down to three hours, bringing new trade and tourists
to Petulia.
Petulian local inhabitants highly respect their customs and traditions. They have recently
voted against a hotel development plan, so there will be no hotels on the island. Instead tourists
are placed with a family as guests.
