Pavlopetri Beach at Pounta
Exploring Monemvasia Sailing Holidays area
On the eastern part of Pounta, across the islet of Petri (Pavlopetri), lies the homonymous beach. It was affected by sand movements in the last few years and now it is shorter with more shallow waters. The effect of sand movements was so intense that it is almost impossible to walk to Pavlopetri instead of swim there. This sand movement has possibly covered a part of the sunken ancient underwater settlement that could be seen when swimming there.

The harbor is open NNE and its entrance is 130 m wide, formed by the outer root of the windward mole of the fishing shelter and a jetty that extends NW for about 70 m. The middle of its inner part is widened.
