Crepe Petra
Visitors say
We had waffle with regular praline, white chocolate and banana. It was delicious. Crepes are alao very good. A must try!
If you are in Petra, you should definitely come over this place for very good ice cream variations. You can have two different options; cup or cornet. 2 balls 5.5 euro. Waffle dough is not so good. It smells too much egg.
About
Tucked into the charming village of Petra on Lesvos's northern coast, Crepe Petra is a welcoming spot for visitors looking to pause and refresh during a day of exploring. As the name suggests, the focus here is on crepes — those thin, golden pancakes that bridge the worlds of sweet indulgence and satisfying snack with equal ease. Whether you're drawn to a classic option filled with honey and walnuts or something more substantial, the menu offers a casual pleasure that suits the unhurried pace of village life in the Aegean.
Petra itself is one of the most visited villages on Lesvos, famous for its striking monolithic rock crowned by the Church of the Sweet-Kissing Virgin and its well-preserved Ottoman-era architecture along the waterfront. Crepe Petra fits naturally into this relaxed atmosphere, serving as a place where travellers can sit, watch the world go by, and recharge between sightseeing and swimming. The village draws a steady mix of Greek families, international tourists, and day-trippers from nearby Molyvos, giving the café a lively yet easy-going energy throughout the summer months.
For visitors spending time on Lesvos's scenic northern coast, stopping here offers a simple but genuine pleasure — good food in a beautiful setting, with the warmth of a small family-run business that cares about what it serves. It is the kind of place that reminds you why slow travel matters, and why some of the most memorable moments on a Greek island holiday happen not at monuments, but at a small table with something sweet in hand.
Before you go
What to expect
The smell of warm batter greets you before you even sit down — crepes come fresh off the griddle and you pick your filling at the counter, sweet or simple. It is a natural pause point between climbing up to the rock church and heading to the waterfront, and the easy street-side seating makes it tempting to order a second one.
Best time to visit
June through September suits this spot best; July and August bring the most visitors to Petra, so aim for mid-morning or late afternoon to avoid the busiest moments.
How to get there
From Mytilene, drive north through Kalloni and continue toward Petra — the trip takes roughly 45 to 55 minutes by car. The creperie is in the village centre, a short walk from the monolithic rock.

What an awesome spot this is! Stopped for a quick ice cream bite and LOVED the Mascarpone Berry, Vanilla and Pistachio that my wife and I had. And a service with a smile to add to it! We'll be back for crepes or waffles soon. Thank you.

Actually, it was disappointing place for us. We ordered waflaki and waffle with icecream . The portion of waflaki is too small and waffle w icecream is not bad. The price is high.

Amazing little place. The owner is very friendly guy who has got a dose of humor besides the tasty dishes he serves. We have been there for a couple of times during our stay. We can recommend his crepes, the bubble waffle and the club sandwiches. His burgers are supposed to be amazing as well.
