Petra is a beautiful and peaceful seaside settlement on the northwest side of Lesvos, 68km from Mytilene Airport. Featuring a long beach, quaint neighbourhoods lined with cobblestone streets, romantic squares and traditional buildings, Petra is a haven of relaxation and serenity for those who need an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern urban life.
Once you arrive at Mytilene Airport, there are two ways to reach Petra: take a taxi or catch the bus. A Mytilene Airport taxi or private transfer will get you to the village directly in 1 hour and 10 minutes. The bus takes a bit longer (1 hour and 30 minutes) and will require you to pass through the city centre of Mytilene first. When you book in advance with Welcome Pickups, you’ll be offered a complimentary mini tour of the city by your English-speaking driver.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Lesvos at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
