Cavo Christo Restaurant & Beach Bar
About
Cavo Christo Restaurant and Beach Bar is a seaside dining destination located near the village of Petra on the northern coast of Lesvos. Perched by the water's edge, it combines the pleasures of a traditional Greek taverna with the relaxed atmosphere of a beach bar, making it a natural stop for visitors exploring this stretch of the island's coastline.
Guests can expect the kind of honest, sun-warmed hospitality that defines the best of Greek waterfront dining — fresh seafood, grilled meats, and local dishes served with views of the shimmering Aegean. The beach bar element invites visitors to linger over a cold drink or coffee and soak in the surroundings long after a meal, whether arriving from the nearby sands or passing through Petra.
Petra itself is one of northern Lesvos's most distinctive villages, built beneath a dramatic volcanic rock and known for its charming harbor and relaxed pace. Cavo Christo fits naturally into this setting, offering travelers a place to rest, eat well, and enjoy the unhurried rhythm that makes this part of the island so appealing.
Before you go
What to expect
Tables sit close enough to the Aegean that you can hear the water while you eat, with the volcanic rock of Petra rising dramatically just behind the village. Order the fresh catch or a plate of grilled meat, then let the meal stretch into the afternoon over a cold beer or iced coffee as the light shifts on the sea. It has the unhurried rhythm of a place where both locals and travellers end up staying longer than planned.
Best time to visit
Late May through September for beach weather and the full kitchen; July and August draw the most visitors, so arriving early afternoon gives you the best pick of waterfront tables.
How to get there
From Mytilene, drive north toward Kalloni and then continue to Petra — roughly an hour by road, around 55-60 km. The restaurant sits along the waterfront just outside Petra village; follow signs toward the beach.
