We have stayed in Aptera many times over the years and know the area well . Petra and Elia was as good or better than anywhere that we have stayed before . It is a thoroughly charming house in a great location , with all the amenities that you could ever need . We were greeted by Anna , who could not have been a nicer host . She left us food and wine , even bought us homemade cake and umbrellas for the day that we had rain . We had a wonderful stay at Petra and Elia and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of staying in the area .
