About
Tucked into the landscape near the coastal village of Petra on Lesvos's northwest shore, Karantonis, S., & Co O.E. is one of those quietly essential local establishments that gives a place its character. The O.E. designation marks it as a family general partnership, a form of business deeply rooted in Greek commercial tradition, and there is something reassuring about an enterprise built on shared family effort and accountability. Petra itself is a charming village crowned by its iconic rock formation and the church perched dramatically atop it, drawing visitors who appreciate authenticity over mass tourism, and businesses like Karantonis fit naturally into that unhurried, genuine atmosphere.
Stopping here offers the chance to engage with local commercial life as it has long functioned in the Aegean — personal, knowledgeable, and connected to the rhythms of the island. Whether for practical needs or a moment of local exchange, a visit to this establishment puts you in contact with the people who actually live and work in Petra year-round, not just the tourist-season surface. The northwest of Lesvos, with its olive groves, fishing harbors, and traditional stone architecture, rewards travelers who venture beyond the obvious landmarks, and places like Karantonis are part of what makes that exploration worthwhile.
Before you go
What to expect
A local family-run business embedded in the everyday life of Petra — the kind of place where the people behind the counter know the village and its needs intimately. Transactions here feel unhurried, and you may well leave knowing a little more about the northwest corner of Lesvos than when you arrived.
Best time to visit
Open year-round as a working local business, though the village is liveliest from May through September.
How to get there
Petra is roughly 60 km by road from Mytilene, following the northern coast — plan on about an hour's drive. The village centre, where Karantonis is located, is easy to navigate on foot once you arrive.

There are no words for the service of karantonis in Petra! From the moment I called until I had my new washing machine installed and the old one removed, less than 30 minutes passed. Their speed, organization and professionalism really impressed me. The team was kind, willing to answer every question I had and made sure that everything was done without the slightest hassle. It is rare these days to encounter such prompt and quality service. They definitely deserve the 5 stars and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants true professionals!

I have no complaints about the service or the prices... but a little more courtesy to the customers wouldn't hurt and they do it well.... shame about the service 🥲
