Alpha Guide 2008
 [The Petra Hotel is] an architectural ensemble composed by white color, earthy characteristics, a touch of ochre, and exterior black-pebble floors. It looks like a small village, built according to the traditional architecture of the island. Its rooms –doubles and suites- are constructed in various levels and mostly consist of two separate space areas that are fully equipped, while most of them have balconies with a great sea view to the Grikos bay. The constant improvements that occur in the hotel, not only in the hotel’s looks but also in its service, transform the Petra into a very special hotel with many repeat guests. If we want to single out something beyond its decorative upgrades, it would be its personalized service that can only be met in small hotels and auberges de charme abroad: the hotel owners themselves take care of you from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart. |
The Greek Luxury Hotel Guide
 The design of the hotel encompasses a simple creative form with the hotel room complex resembling a miniature of an island neighborhood, where the detail in the decoration is transformed into art…All the details of the Petra hotel underline that not one thing in the Petra hotel is impersonal, from the materials being used in construction and decoration to the everyday discreet contact with the hotel owners, who play a beneficial role in the guests’ satisfaction and make them feel more like honorary guests rather than clients. |

two-bedroom apartments come with handsome bathrooms. All except one unit have balconies that enjoy splendid views of Grikos Bay. Each is simply and handsomely decorated, with the necessities of home plus local touches. It’s a perfect family place, just a 2-minute walk from the

Odyssey Magazine
 “Small white tables, glass vases with wild flowers, a beautiful sea and some Elytis poetry… They all blend in with the warm smile of Petroula and Kostas, who would have been certain winners of the hospitality Oscar, had there ever been one.” This is how one delighted guest described the Petra Hotel and its proprietors, who really do know how to make visitors feel at home within their earthy, lovingly-kept abode in the fishing village of Grikos. The hotel's clean lines, whitewashed arches and unfussy yet soft furnishings echo the austerity and spirituality of this eastern Aegean treasure of an island. It was here that St John penned the Book of Revelations. Once you set foot on Patmos, it is easy to understand where the inspiration sprung from. Almost all rooms enjoy a view of the Gulf of Grikos. The capital, Skala, and the medieval village of Hora are five kilometers away." |
