Petinos traditional house

Un soggiorno meraviglioso nel cuore autentico di Thirasia! Petinos Traditional House è un vero gioiello affacciato sul mare, perfetto per chi desidera vivere la magia delle Cicladi lontano dalla folla. La vista dalla terrazza è semplicemente spettacolare: svegliarsi ogni mattina davanti all’azzurro infinito della caldera è un’esperienza che resta nel cuore. La casa è elegante, luminosa e arredata con gusto, mantenendo tutto il fascino dell’architettura tradizionale greca. Gli ambienti sono spaziosi, impeccabilmente puliti e dotati di ogni comfort necessario per sentirsi come a casa. Abbiamo apprezzato particolarmente la tranquillità del luogo, il silenzio, i tramonti mozzafiato e l’atmosfera autentica che rende Thirasia così speciale. Un ringraziamento speciale ad Apostolos per la sua accoglienza calorosa, la disponibilità e i preziosi consigli che hanno reso il nostro soggiorno ancora più piacevole.

Assolutamente niente !!!

Tutto, strepitosa!

Nulla

Peaceful outlook over the Santorini caldera

Some pretty steep steps up to the next village if you need to buy provisions. The waves of tourist boats from cruise ships that descend on the island during the day

This place is pure bliss. It was the perfect start to my Greek holiday.

We really loved this place! After an exhausting spring we looked for a place of total relaxation and we really found it here! The house is situated directly on the water front. It’s beautiful and clean has all the necessary equipment. The house has a large private veranda and the view is absolutely stunning. In the evening you experience a total stillness. Apostolos was extremely helpful and nice and was always available. We also met the nice owner family who did everything to make our trip special. This is one of the best places we have stayed in during our 30 years in Greece and we highly recommend it!!

Nothing!

The view is absolutely stunning. Just amazing to wake up to.

Great views! Very clean and tidy! Incredible hosts! Apostolis went above and beyond to accommodate us!

Everything was great!

Our stay in Petinos was beyond fantastic. It was the perfect way to end our Greek island holiday in this beautiful location in Kofus Bay in Therasia. The setting was just perfect, crystal clear water perfect for swimming and literally on your doorstep. This was the real authentic Greek experience in this old fishing port with some beautiful waterfront resturants serving up local fresh fish in particular the windmill restaurant run by Apostolos is a must visit. The views from Petinos are just breathtaking day or night and it feels like you have the whole place to yourself as all the day trippers return back to the bustle of Santorini on the last ferry. Apostolos is the perfect host, nothing is a problem and he just made us feel so welcome. I absolutely recommend Petinos traditional house for a must stay in this piece of heaven.

We had to leave

We stayed at Petinos House for 3 nights in May 2024 and had a fabulous time. We couldn't fault the accommodation. It's an old fisherman's cottage full of character and was very well appointed, clean and comfortable. The real wow factor for us though was the location of the cottage on the beach front in Korfos, with stunning views from the terrace to the front during the day and at night, with the lights of Fira twinkling across the bay. Korfos is busy during the day with various tourist boats stopping off but is quiet during the evenings. Which brings up the matter of eating options. There are probably 10 or more restaurants in Korfos but they were all pretty much closed in the evenings after the tourist boats have left. Whether that changes later in the season I can't say. The restaurant next door (the Windmill) oversees Petinos' house and offered us the option of eating there after the restaurant had technically closed and we had a couple of lovely mesls there (swordfish - yum!) There are a few restaurant up in the village of Manolas (we didn't eat there, so no recommendations) and the many steps up to Manolas will become familiar to you if you stay for a few days! ;) We did two fabulous walks while we were there, which show you a lot of the island. 1/ Up the steps to Manolas (a quaint little village of fisherman's houses) then following the road down the hill west to the equally quaint village of Potamos, and north to the village of Riva Cove. There are a couple of restaurants here, and we ate at the Agistri restaurant, a lovely traditional Greek taverna where owner Nikos treated us to ouzo, raki, wine and fabulous Greek hospitality! We had a lunch of fresh sardines, okra, etc., then caught the late afternoon ferry back to Korfos. We can't recommend this restaurant highly enough! 2/ Up the steps to Manolas, the south to Panayia, a church/monastery on the southern tip of the island.

Nothing!
