Map & location
Petra, Lesvos, Greece
Alma Resort Hotel sits on the seafront just outside the traditional village of Petra on Lesvos’ relaxed north coast. From its hillside position you overlook olive groves, red-tiled roofs and the Aegean, with the coastline curving away in both directions.
Follow the shoreline for around 150m and you’ll reach Petra’s long, beach-fringed bay. Head slightly inland and you’re soon in the village centre, a maze of narrow stone streets, overhanging trees and family-run tavernas clustered around the iconic church perched on a rock.
- Beach 150m
- restaurant 150m
- Petra resort centre 1.2km
- Approx. transfer time from Mytilene Airport (MJT) 1 hour 50 minutes
