Lesbos (/ˈlɛzbɒs/, US: /ˈlɛzboʊs/; Greek: Λέσβος Lesvos, pronounced [ˈlezvos]), sometimes referred to as Mytilene after its capital, is a Greek island located in the northeastern Aegean Sea. It has an area of 1,633 km (631 sq mi) with 320 kilometres (199 miles) of coastline, making it the third largest island in Greece. It is separated from Turkey by the narrow Mytilini Strait and in late Palaeolithic/Mesolithic times was joined to the Anatolian mainland before the end of the last glacial period.

You can’t help but look at the beautiful church on the rocks as you approach Petra from road or sea. We made a special visit from Molyvos to climb the steps and visit the pretty church and courtyard. Lovely views from the top. Definitely worth seeking out if in the area.

The site was identified and excavated by Winifred Lamb from 1929 to 1933 and there were further excavations 2004‐2008. The site is free to enter and is open all year. We were also given a free 16 page guide written in English. The developers of the site have very kindly provided shaded areas to view the site and read the informations boards.There is also a seminar room where you can view a film about the site and see some nice models of what the village might have looked like.
