Hi everybody

I was just browsing googlemaps to have a look at places, that I know are interesting for palm enthusiasts in Greece. In this case, there is a very nice private property with lots of palms. Just next to it, I discovered that particular specimen (see link below), that looks a bit like a Cocos, but I think it is a Beccariophoenix. I would rule out Cocos Nucifera, because I don´t think the climate in Katakolo would support a Cocos in long term. Can anyone confirm this? Other suggestions?

When I open the link on my mobile, the angle is totally misaligned. In that case just turn around until you can see a nice beccariophoenix 😅 don’t know why this happens. It works perfectly fine on the desktop browser.
