Peta was ruled by the Ottomans even after the Greek War of Independence. The Ottomans recaptured the village and continued ruling the region until 1881 with a brief Greek occupation in the 1850s but it was reconquered. Peta finally joined Greece when ended in 1881 the Ottoman rule of most of Thessaly and of the modern southeastern Arta, in accordance with the 1878 Congress of Berlin. The land northwest of Peta remained in Ottoman hands until the Balkan Wars of 1913.

The flag of Peta (Kokkonis website) was dark red with a khaki ellipsoidal shape (higher than the flag), and the emblem of the municipality in yellow in the middle with the name above.
