How to get to Lesvos

Lesvos, the third largest Greek island, lies at the north-eastern part of the Aegean Sea, opposite the coast of Asia Minor and the town of Ayvalik.
The main port of Lesvos is in Mytilene, the capital of the island, which is an hours’ drive from Molyvos. There are boat connections with Piraeus, Thessalonica, Kavala, Alexandroupoli, the islands of Chios, Lemnos, Samos and Kos, as well as daily trips to Ayvalik and Dikeli in Turkey. The trip to Piraeus lasts between 9 to 12 hours and to Turkey about 1 hour.

The airport is just 8kms out of the city to the west and you can reach it either by taxi or the local bus. You can fly from Athens, Thessalonica, Lemnos, Samos, Chios, Rhodes, Alexandroupoli and Crete. During summer season there are charter flight connections to and from Turkey, Britain, Germany, Austria, Holland, Belgium, Norway, the Czech Republic and Slovenia.

Coming by car from Mytilene to Mithymna (Molyvos) you must follow the signs to Kalloni and then Mithymna.
