We’ve just returned from a really lovely week at Petrakis Beach Hotel. The owners, Eugenios and Helena, were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make our holiday very special. The rooms are quite old fashioned but super clean, cleaned every day with clean sheets and towels several times during the week. The bathroom is quite small but we didn’t find that a problem at all. We had a side view but still with a view of the sea from the balcony with comfy chairs provided. The hotel is right on the beach with plenty of free umbrellas and sun beds. Lots of people who weren’t staying at the hotel used the beach every day - not surprisingly as the beach is fantastic- but there was never a problem getting a sunbed, although weekends were a bit busier. There is quiet music playing in the taverna but it’s not intrusive, in fact on the beach you only really hear the waves. Maybe we were lucky when we went but there weren’t lots of noisy kids screaming and running about, it was just really peaceful. The sea is very clear and the water quite shallow which was nice for swimming and just walking through the sea. The food and service at the hotel’s taverna were very good, and we particularly liked being able to sit on the jetty watching the sunset - every evening a slightly different beautiful view right across the bay. NB if you want to explore the island, you will need to hire a car - Lefkimmi is quite a long walk away and there is no bus service from the hotel. All in all, this is a lovely small hotel with very personal service. If you want somewhere bustling with loads of nightlife, this is not the place for you. (Go to...
Read moreWe have just returned from a truly great stay at this wonderful gem of a Hotel run by the most caring and charming owners Eugenios and Helena. Nothing is too much trouble for them, from coming out to meet us and guide us to the hotel to going and buying us a large container of milk and 6 litre bottles of water and not allowing us to pay for them. Our room was equipped with a large fridge which was great, upon arriving we found wine, sweets, biscuits, slippers, shampoo, conditioner etc etc so thoughtful for us travellers. The rooms were spotless and cleaned everyday with bedding and towels changed every 2 days. Such a wonderful setting, safe and lovely beach and shallow warm sea to the magnificent sunsets which we watched from the charming wooden jetty and seating area. All in all we would give this lovely place and it's owners 10 out of 10 and would anybody who wants a restful delightful holiday without noise and tourists to visit this hotel. Only slight problem being it doesnot have a bus route and really you need a car which they can provide also. We will gladly and look forward to coming back to Petrakis Beach Hotel in the future.
