The Petra is an intimate hillside hotel above Grikos Bay on Patmos, looking towards the sea and the rock formation of Kalikatsou. Whitewashed walls, arched openings and cool stone floors give the suites a clear island character, complemented by Greek art and private balconies or terraces. A small outdoor pool and breakfast terrace make the most of the elevated position, while the compact scale keeps service personal and the atmosphere residential. Chora and the Monastery of Saint John are a short drive away. Boats, low hills and the sheltered curve of the bay remain visible from the hotel’s upper rooms.
