There is a place where wine is a big deal and is located right beneath Cucina Restaurant & Bar. Our wine cellar is yet another living proof of how much we appreciate quality and fine products. Well-curated and especially designed, the cellar features excellent storing conditions in order to maintain stable proper temperatures. 

From the ancient times up until today, wine has played an important role in Greece’s customs and traditions and it is inextricably linked to countless celebrations and joys. Throughout Greece vintners produce wine from famous grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon and of course, Greece's most characteristic variety, Assyrtiko.

You don’t have to be a wine expert to visit our cellar and discover the well-organized collection of carefully selected Greek wine labels. Our metr will help you navigate through the magical world of wine and guide you through its plethora of varieties. And if you fancy buying something special, here's your chance to buy something and celebrate a special occasion, or offer a well appreciated gift.

“I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.”

- W.C. Fields 

“Age is just a number. It’s totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.”

- Joan Collins

On this wellness voyage, you can certainly recognize the benefits of other relieving activities too, such as the steam bath or sauna. If you use sauna before a massage therapy, you warm up your muscles and prepare them for deeper stretching and tension relief. If sauna follows your massage therapy, you mostly enjoy detoxification benefits as you sweat and circulation takes away all accumulated toxins out of your system. Either way, you further enhance and increase the benefits of your therapy.

Let’s admit it, connecting with ourselves is the most important thing to do as we move through life. And this process involves taking good care of ourselves. Spa therapies have existed since the classical times when taking bath with water was considered a popular means to treat illnesses. In fact, the word spa comes from the Latin phrase "salus per aqua", meaning "health through water." In Petra Wellness & Spa, we strongly believe that wellness is not only about relaxation. It’s about being able to live in the present moment and being comfortable within ourselves. And eventually, it’s about living a better life.
