Ktima Petra

Top choice in Dodecanese


For one of Patmos' wholesome and genuine foodie experiences, don't miss this winner, located at Petra Beach. The setting – under a shaded terrace overlooking a vegetable garden – is idyllic. The restaurant, run by two hard-working brothers, sources its vegetables from their own adjoining plots. The result? Fabulous fresh and hearty traditional Greek cuisine.

It's worth a special trip here, but is equally walkable from the nearby Grikos Beach.
