Hotel Defkalion

Hotel Defkalion in Petra is a charming and family-run hotel that offers a quiet and relaxing stay just outside the center. The pool area is clean, well-maintained and very peaceful, perfect for a cooling dip or a while of relaxation in the sun. The rooms are spacious, pleasant, and practically designed, often with a kitchen area and a balcony, which makes it feel more like living in a small apartment than a regular hotel room. The staff is absolutely fantastic – warm, helpful, and genuinely caring. They really do everything for the guests to feel comfortable, and it shows in every meeting. The hotel is located in a quiet area, which provides a pleasant and peaceful environment, but it is a walk to the beach and restaurants in Petra. In the heat, it can feel far to go back and forth every day. To get the most out of the stay, it is recommended to rent a bicycle, moped, or car to easily get around and explore the area. It would have been a big plus if the hotel offered loaner bikes, as that would have made the day even smoother. In summary, Hotel Defkalion is a fantastic choice for you who want a personal, quiet, and well-maintained stay with lovely staff and nice rooms. The location is a bit remote, but with the right means of transport it will be a top stay.

We have just returned from this lovely hotel. I have visited Lesbos 6-7 times and this has been the best hotel so far. Big beautyfull rooms, with a small kitchen and a balcony. Its clean everywhere, the breakfast is good. You can enjoy the pool or go to Anaxos Beach - its only about 15 min walk. The centre of Petra is also about 15 min walk from the hotel. The owner, Toula is the nicest person you can imagine and is always ready to help if you have questions. The last day we left the hotel before breakfast, to catch our flight, and Toula had made sandwich, fruit, juice, cake we could eat on our way to the airport. That was so Nice. We gladly will return to this place.

Fantastic little hotel located between Petra and Anaxos. 20 min walking distance from Petra via a safe country road. Rooms tip top in order, lovely bed, breakfast excellent with all days delicious homemade jams and cakes, cookies from the hostess Toula. Eggs are prepared à la minute as desired by a very sweet lady. This is our 3rd time staying at Petra but by far the best! Top hotel with super friendly staff and super sweet hostess who asks you every day with an equally friendly smile if everything is satisfactory!
