Hotel Petras Beach

L'établissement est un peu ancien mais nous avons eu un accueil sympathique. Le petit déjeuner était copieux et la terrasse côté jardin agréable. La salle de bain a été rénovée avec goût.

Pour profiter pleinement de la terrasse, il manque un équipement pour pouvoir se faire à manger. Dans la salle de bain, la douche est petite avec un rideau.

The sea view

It wasn’t private at all ! When sitting on the balcony we could see the people next door to us and hear them too , till early hours in the morning, Very annoying!

reception of key, welcome drinks, clean room with sea view. Breakfast was oke (but not to our taste.) Beach in front of hotel, however due to wind and high waves, difficult to swim..

The road in front of the hotel is a bit noisy during the day, however after 21.00h the traffic is very low and during the night it is completely calm

Hotel Petras Beach is a small and comfortable hotel, about 15-20 minutes walk from the centre of Sitia, along the main coastal road (which is lit at night and part of which has a pavement). The hotel is across the road from Petras Beach. The beach itself is sandy and has a lovely view, but the water covers a large, quite flat, rocky area, which makes swimming more difficult. The walk into town and to the town beach is flat, with lots of seafront tavernas and shops in the town behind. This offers a bit of exercise, if you are on foot, but there doesn't appear to be any bus service, despite a few bus stops along the road. If you have a car or want to hire one, the main roads are in good condition and traffic is quite light. There are plenty of places to explore with some wonderful villages, towns, beaches and more, within less than an hour's drive. Note, some of the roads inland and down to a few beaches are unmade and better suited to 4x4s. The hotel is family owned and it feels very much like you are being welcomed to that family. Plates of grapes from the garden and a supply of homemade Raki were regularly offered and gratefully received - as was advice about the area and making the most of your time around Sitia. They all speak English well, but are also patient with novice Greek speakers - ευχαριστούμε! The rooms are simple, clean and comfortable, with air-con, a fridge, kettle, regularly changed bedding and towels - and more available on request - like plates, cups and cutlery. All the rooms are on the ground floor and have doors out to tables and chairs. On our second day, the hinge on our bathroom door broke and when we reported it, we feared that it may take a while to get sorted, but it was fixed within a few hours. Hotel Petras Beach offers very good value and a great location near Sitia, close enough to the town to access on foot and with parking for cars if you plan to explore the area.

There was nothing for us to dislike! But, to be clear, this is not an all-inclusive, stay in the hotel for the whole of your stay, type of location. There is no restaurant, entertainment or pool (but the beach opposite is less than a minute away!). There are a few bars on the way into Sitia, but most need a 15-minute walk into Sitia or a car to get to.

Hôtel facile à trouver. Excentré de la ville mais assez au calme malgré que les chambres vue « mer » soit coté « route ». Literie confortable. Chambre propre dans l’ensemble. Petit parking pour garer quelques voitures. Personnel agréable.

Manque d’équipement. Un petit frigo et une bouilloire mais pas de tasses…. Pas de mise à disposition de thé ou de café en sachet. Le lendemain matin à 8h30, pas de personnel présent pour demander des tasses… Salle d’eau très petite notamment le bac de douche.

Die Nähe zum Strand und die Freundlichkeit des Personals. Wie haben die Unterkunft nur für eine Nacht genutzt, da wir eine Road trip gemacht haben. Für eine Nacht war die Unterkunft sehr gut.
