Petra
Facilities: Bank, ATM, Doctor, Dentist, Pharmacy
Petra is overlooked by the church of Panayia Glykofilousa (Virgin Mary of the Sweet Kiss) built in 1747, which is perched on top of a rock some 30 metres high. The village takes it's name from this rock.
The village is a very popular resort in the summer and has quite a nice beach, with a good selection of tavernas just across the main road. There are also quite a few cafes around the plateia near the beach.
There is a very old Turkish house in the centre of the village, which is reputedly the oldest on Lesvos.
See the Information page for details of the local bus service that runs between Anaxos and Eftalou in the summer
