It was back in 1958 when a fisherman found this
wounded pelican..
"An
amazing bird with great colors!"
It flew from mainland to the islandand
after a great storm
it was found half dead.
The fisherman protected it with care and after
it had recovered the pelican became a resident.
It was fed by the local people of the island
and they named it Petros.
After a while it became the mascot of the island.
Some say that in 1986 Petros died when he was raped
by a drunk tourist.
Others say that he died on 2 December 1985.
He was run over by a car.
The point is that his loss was sudden and everyone
started to miss Petros.
He was so popular that some residents had to invent
a successor.
So they brought another pelican and another after the death
of that,
and they named all, one after the other,
with the same name:
Petros.
In honor of the first one!
It is easy to find him. He and his friends usually get
a shady nap near Nikos tavern.
Many people gather here and take photos or videos.
Now you can watch the video with the famous bird
in great moments.
High Quality Video: 3:47"

It has plenty of
surprising moments of Petros. Enjoy!
