The Petra, Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Our experience at the Petra was absolutely amazing! This is a truly lovely boutique hotel that caters to your every need. The owners, Petra and Kostas Stergiou, greeted us when we arrived. They are such a sweet and lovely couple. We had breathtaking views from our balcony. Each villa is absolutely stunning inside. We had such an amazing time on our trip, and we just can't speak highly enough about it! I would absolutely love to go back to the Petra, as it was just the most romantic, perfect getaway!

The Petra is a slice of paradise. The hospitality was 5 star, the location perfect and the food amazing. Staff were a delight too. We were here in September and the weather was perfect. We are already considering rebooking for next year - highly recommended!

The Petra is a dream hotel located in one of the pearl of the Dodekanes islands, Patmos. What makes it unique is the intimate family atmosphere provided by the owners, fully dedicated, along with their great staff, to all guests. Every morning's breakfast is delicious with new surprises every day. Service, food & beverage and cleanness are simply outstanding. Rooms are simply furnished with great taste. This is a place you don't want to leave and we'll certainly be back next and upcoming years. Thanks for your great hospitality!

Lovely family run boutique hotel with great attention to detail. Delicious breakfast, immaculately clean and great service. Great location and views. Quiet and peaceful. They efficiently organise beach activities. Best place in Patmos from all accounts.

The Petra is the perfect destination hotel on Patmos; an island both desolate and beautiful. The small boutique hotel is a family run business; Lovely hospitable people. The food is delicious, and all homemade. I had dinner there my first night. I started out with the entire breakfast service the next day which is included. They were kind and let me take with me that which I could not eat. One cannot drink the water, but they make bottled water readily accessible at no cost. It has a very nice deck and pool area which overlooks Petra Bay. They serve drinks on the deck from the bar downstairs. A small beach is just down the street and there is a little outdoor bar and dining there as well. The rooms have their own outdoor seating area and are spacious and attractive. All the art is by a local artist by the name of Rocco. The rooms have a coffee machine, kettle, and refrigerator as well as robes. I did not partake but spa treatments are available on site. Albeit a long walk uphill the Monastery is in walking distance and from there one can walk to St. John's Cave. The walking gave me much more of the feeling for the place. The fees for the Taxis vary with the driver. It's as little as $5 from the ferry harbor, and as much as $10 to or from the hotel. I stayed three nights arriving around 2pm from Kos by ferry and leaving from there by afternoon ferry for Rhodes. My only regret is that I didn't stay at least one more night as it was a much more peaceful authentic experience then what I encountered on other Greek isles to date.

What a wonderful haven. We spent 3 nights - and could have stayed longer. A wonderful boutique hotel - that feels like you're staying with the family. The service was excellent - and the food was wonderful. Book a massage as well - provided by a true professional. We booked the Petra Suite - and had a large terrace with a spectacular view. The suite had two bathrooms which made for a very stress-free vacation ... it's the key to a long-term marriage! Patmos was a special place - go.
