Liber-Mar apartments
Visitors say
The location and view are excellent. We enjoyed it very much. Our room was cleaned every day. Breakfast or light meals can be prepared in the kitchen facilities. There is a playground for children in the side garden. The owners are friendly and kind.
Almost in the sea (you wake up in the sea from your bed in room number 8!), amazing accommodation... Especially Maria, our hostess with such a sweet, big smile... I love this place. I definitely recommend it to those who will come to Petra.
About
Liber-Mar apartments offer a relaxed base for exploring one of Lesvos's most characterful corners, situated near the charming village of Petra on the island's northwest coast. Petra itself is named for the striking monolithic rock that rises dramatically from the village center, crowned by the church of the Sweet-Kissing Virgin — a landmark visible from much of the surrounding area and a short climb rewarded with sweeping views over the Aegean. Staying at Liber-Mar puts guests within easy reach of Petra's long sandy beach, its pretty central square lined with cafes and tavernas, and the region's broader network of villages and scenic drives.
The apartments are designed for visitors who prefer the independence and comfort of self-catering accommodation, offering the freedom to come and go at your own pace while still being close to local amenities. This part of Lesvos tends to attract travelers seeking an authentic, unhurried experience rather than resort-style tourism, and Liber-Mar fits that character well — a practical, welcoming choice for couples or small families looking to settle into the rhythm of island life for a few days or more.
From this base, guests can explore the wider Kalloni Gulf area, visit the famous petrified forest to the south, or make day trips along the coast to villages like Molyvos and Anaxos. The northwest of Lesvos is particularly beloved for its traditional architecture, olive groves, and the kind of quiet, sun-drenched pace that draws visitors back year after year. Liber-Mar offers a sensible and agreeable foothold in this rewarding part of the island.
Before you go
What to expect
The apartments give you a genuinely independent base — cook your own breakfast, walk to Petra's long sandy beach in minutes, and spend evenings at the tavernas around the village square with the famous clifftop church visible above the rooftops. It suits travelers who want to explore at their own pace rather than follow a resort schedule.
Best time to visit
Late May through September for swimming; July and August bring the most visitors and the hottest midday heat, so May, June, and September offer a more relaxed stay.
How to get there
Petra sits on the northwest coast, roughly an hour to an hour and a half's drive from Mytilene depending on your route; the main road runs via Kalloni and then northwest toward Petra.

We stayed for five nights. The rooms were cleaned daily, and the towels were changed daily. The hotel is run by a wonderful team of friendly and polite women. The balcony overlooking the sea and the church-lit night view from our room was very enjoyable. We were also very pleased that there was a very fun play area for children. We had breakfast in our room, and there were plenty of supplies in the kitchen. You have thought of every detail, thank you very much, we hope to see you again.

It's a clean and comfortable place, but they tried to make a double bed by combining two single beds, which annoyed me. It's a quiet place to stay, a 15-minute walk from the beaches. The staff are helpful and friendly. There's a bakery and a market nearby. Your room has a mini-fridge, a single stove, and a kettle. We didn't buy breakfast, we had breakfast in our room 😅 We brought our own kettle and coffee maker. I can recommend it, but it would have been better to call the management directly and book accommodation there for a lower price :(

I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, where we stayed for 4 nights, to everyone. The spotlessly clean room, daily cleaning and towel changes, warm welcome, and friendly staff greatly contributed to making our island vacation enjoyable.🌸

A Hidden Gem in Petra with Unmatched Hospitality My wife, our two daughters, two grandsons, and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Liber-mar Apartments in Petra, Lesbos from July 3 to July 10, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place. My wife and I stayed in a beautifully spacious room with a panoramic view of the Aegean Sea. The room featured a convenient kitchenette and was cleaned meticulously every day. Meanwhile, our daughters and grandchildren shared another room that was just as spacious and comfortable, with a twin bed and two single beds, and a partial but stunning sea view—perfectly suited for a family of four. The location of Liber-mar is nothing short of ideal. It’s situated right by the seaside, with only a small street separating the building from the water. There was always ample public parking available in front, and a private parking lot exclusively for guests just next to the property—something we greatly appreciated. Now, let me get to what truly made our stay unforgettable: Elephteria and Maria, the two amazing women who manage Liber-mar. They were exceptionally warm, friendly, and helpful from the moment we arrived. Every morning, we were welcomed with their genuine smiles, whether at the bar or up on the terrace. Their homemade breakfasts, sandwiches, and cocktails were nothing short of extraordinary—thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and clearly made with love. One of our favorite memories was sitting on the terrace, sipping the custom cocktails they mixed for us, while watching the Aegean sunset melt into the horizon. It was simply magical. The apartments are also just a 10-minute walk from Petra’s lively restaurants and beaches, making it both peaceful and conveniently located. We all had a wonderful time at Liber-mar and are already looking forward to returning. A heartfelt thank you to Elephteria and Maria—you made our stay truly special. Highly recommended without hesitation.

I stayed at Liber-Mar Apartments and it was a perfect experience from start to finish. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable. The balcony view was simply breathtaking. The location is peaceful yet central enough to explore Petra and the surrounding villages easily. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing stay on Lesvos island!
