There
are hotels of every class and size and houses
and rooms to rent as well, on the island of
Lesvos. Prices are generally much cheaper then
on the more popular Cyclades islands, in fact many
are a bargain in comparison to more popular islands like Mykonos and Santorini. There is
booking information at the bottom of the
page. In most cases you are better off booking
with the agencies because besides giving you
the same rates as the hotel, they can also
handle your arrangements for flights, ferries,
car rentals and excursions and they can also
book your hotels in Athens. But I have included links to Booking.com and you can get rates and book instantly. The Hotels that are
Matt's Pick
are the
ones I have stayed at and loved and am pretty
sure you will too, particularly those at the top of the page. |
|
Note:
If you are planning to go to Lesvos in July-August
book your hotels in advance. Don't show up on
the island and expect a travel agent to find
something for you because there may not be
anything available, especially after the first of August.
If
you plan to go to Lesvos in August you should
know that some of the hotels are booked full
for August as early as May so book
early! Ask about special rates during the
birdwatching season in the spring.
Lesvos is the primary stop for
birds on the migration route
between Europe and Africa not to
mention the beautiful wildflowers
that are in bloom too.

The Hotel Seahorse
Matt's Pick!
The
Sea Horse Hotel
is right in the harbor of Molyvos,
overlooking the cafes and fishing
boats. All rooms have a balcony
overlooking the sea. It has a bar,
lounge with tv and the breakfast
room is actually one of the best
cafes in the harbor and serves
many styles of eggs, pastries and
has excellent coffees and espresso
for getting the day started. It's
a class C (2-star) but like many of the lower category hotels on Lesvos that are family run, feels like a higher category. The Seahorse has 27 beds which means if you want to stay here you should book quickly. There is airconditioning in each room.
Inexpensive and centrally located
the hotel is of very good quality.
Newly renovated, all rooms have
refridgerator, TV, air
conditioning, personal phone,hair
dryer and all balcony doors have
doudle glass windows. It also has
its own travel agency and
arrangements can be made there for
trips around the island on the
excursion boat Mercury Express.
You can contact the owner,
Stergios Tekes, who lived much of
his life in Australia and speaks
fluent English. With room rates at
around $50 for a double this hotel
is a bargain and you can't beat
the location.They also have internet connection for laptops from each room and a new taverna-restaurant in the port.

The SUNRISE HOTEL:
Matt's Pick!
This resort-style hotel is located
on the road to Eftalou on the
other side of the castle and is
about a 15 minute walk from the
town. It is built on the side of a
mountain with steps leading up to
bungalows of which there are 4
rooms to a building. Each room has
a fantastic view of the sea, the
olive groves, the fields and
Turkey which on a clear day looks
like you can touch it. At night
you can see the lights of it's
towns twinkling. The rooms are big
with high ceilings and a balcony
big enough for entertaining
guests. Each room had an
individual AC, color TV, a fully
stocked fridge and by far the
nicest bathrooms we have seen on
the island and maybe in
Greece.
There was a restaurant just off
the main lobby and another one
down next to the pool, which in
the eyes of my daughter was the
hotel's best feature. In
fact we could not get her out of
it and spend much of our time
sitting in the shade watching her
or swimming ourselves. I am not a
pool person by nature. I can't
stand chlorine. But unlike most
pools this one was not heavily
chlorinated and I actually enjoyed
it. The staff was very friendly
and they all spoke English. There
were also plenty of kids around
and also couples. Seemed like a
nice place to spend a honeymoon
and in fact it seemed like some
people never left the hotel. It
was easy enough to do so. There
was a hotel bus into Molyvos and
another to the beach and hot
springs at Eftalou which is also
within walking distance. There is
also a nice little beach only a
few minutes walk from the
hotel. We woke up too late for breakfast
but the leftovers looked great and
the coffee was excellent. There
were tennis courts and a
happy-hour at the pool bar, draft
beer, ping-pong and social events
like Greek dancing and so on.

Captain's View
Matt's Pick!: This beautifully restored house in the medieval town of Molyvos was finished in the summer of 2003. The first people to rent it booked it for a week. After a few days they changed the tickets for their return flights and booked it for another
three weeks.
Captain's View is truly a labor of love from Melinda and her husband Theo who are both quite proud
of it for good reason. Built on the side of the mountain there are two entrances, one to the bedrooms on the lower floor and the other to the kitchen and living room above. The bedrooms are tasetfully decorated with antiques and two very large double beds. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, one with a shower and the other with a very large bathtub-jacuzzi. The kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge, stove-oven, micro-wave, all the cooking and eating utensils you need and a big wooden table that can seat a large
family. The living room has a large and comfortable couch which converts into a double bed. From the living room a glass door leads to the balcony with a view of the village, the port, the beach, the sea and western Lesvos and the lovely sunsets you get on this part of the island. If you begin your evenings here with a drink and meze you may never go out. Above the living room is a loft with more sleeping area or television viewing, perfect for children. The house is well air-conditioned and heated for year-round
rental. It is located a block from the market street, right above the art school and a few steps from the traditional bakery. Everywhere is within walking distance. For more photos see Captain's View Villa

Blue Sea Hotel
Matt's Pick!
The
Blue Sea Hotel
is right on the water in the
harbor of Mytilini town. The rooms
on the right side face the inner
harbor and the lights of the city.
The rooms on the left side face
the sea and the dock where the
ferry boats come in. If you are
like me then you will be very
happy with one of these rooms
because I love watching the big
ferries sail slowly into the
harbor and dock up, unloading
their passengers and cars and
trucks. It's like watching a
movie. Either side the view is
pretty spectacular so try to get a
room on the third or fourth
floors. The rooms themselves are
very comfortable. They have
air-conditioning but we didn't
need it since there was a nice sea
breeze blowing. There is a
television too but we never turned
it on since there is so much going
on in Mytilini town, with concerts
in the castle, cafes, bars, clubs,
and great restaurants, who needs a
TV, except to babysit your kids
for awhile. Breakfast is nothing
special but with a harbor full of
cafes and espresso bars who cares?
As for catching a ferry, no hotel
is more convenient. For prices and booking
information you can contact

The Pyrgos Mytilini
Imagine staying in a hotel in
Mytilini as fine as the best old
hotels in Paris, or anywhere in
the world for that matter.The Pyrgos Mytilini
is such a hotel and it was just a
matter of circumstance that we
stayed here. We were on our way
back to Athens and asked our
travel agent friend Lena Mantzerou
if she could find us a room for
the night. She told us not to
worry but we did anyway,
especially when an August
heat-wave magically appeared. She
told us she had made reservations
for us at the Pyrgos and our
friend Mike Constantinou of Greece
Accommodations Direct would be
there too and we could all go out
to dinner. When we saw the hotel
we were amazed. We had been living
in a small village in an old stone
house, and this was about as good
as it gets. A stately old mansion
a few minutes walk from downtown
Mytilini, incredible
air-conditioning, beautiful
antique decor, cable tv, it was
unreal. In fact Andrea would not
come out with us because she
wanted to enjoy the room. We were
so comfortable there we tried to
change our boat tickets to stay
longer but we would have had to
give up our cabin. The best part
though was that it was free. They
would not let us pay. Chances are
that won't happen to you, but if
you want to spend your time in
Mytilini town in luxury, the
Pyrgos Mytilinis is the place I
recommend. For more information including rates please contact Hahathakis Travel

The Princess Hotel
The Princess Hotel is on the outskirts of Mytlini town on the road to the airport just one street up from the beach. There are several important reasons I recommend this hotel. The first is the hospitality of Aris and Persefoni Laskaris the owners, who returned
from Australia
to their ancestral island of Mytilini.
The second is because it is one of the few self-catering hotel-apartments in Mytilini, each having a small kitchen where you can do your own cooking. The hotel
is on the bus line and within walking distance from a number of very good tavernas in the neighborhood. The rooms are air-conditioned, some with a few of the sea and almost all with balconies. The hotel has a cafe-breakfast room and a small bar where you can ask Aris all about the island. If you want to stay in Mytilini but not in the city this is a good choice. People who stay here return year after year, feeling like family. It is also convenient to the airport. For rates and
availability on this hotel, or for other
travel arrangements in Greece, click here to contact Hahathakis Travel in Lesvos

are literally hundreds of rooms in Eressos
from inexpensive hotels, villas, private rooms
and even a Luxury class hotel with a swimming
pool.
The Heliotopos
Matt's Pick!
The Heliotopos
is set back a couple hundred
yards from the beach
surrounded by fruit trees and
fields the greenest green I
have ever seen. It is a catagory A and consists of
three apartments and five studios
in two buildings run by a very nice American couple. Each apartment has a fully
equipped kitchen and on Friday nights guests and locals get together for a pot-luck barbeque in the gardens.
The hotel is within walking
distance of the restaurants
and nightlife of Skala Eressos
though if you are old and
feeble you may want a car.
There are bikes for children
and adults to use for free.
The apartments are
air-conditioned but starting
in 2001 the studios will be
too.The extensive garden is home
to many birds. One of these is
an African Grey parrot who has
a large vocabulary of
whistles, words and sounds.
You can sit on the balcony and
talk back and forth with him
across the garden. It is also
across the road from the
famous turtle pond where you
can actually feed the turtles
by hand.

PEBBLE BEACH HOTEL
Matt's Pick!
30 years ago Angie Saropoulos
and her husband George sold
everything they owned in
America and came to Plomari
where they built the Pebble
Beach Hotel. The hotel is
situated on beautiful Agios
Isodoros beach, has a full
restaurant and bar, both of
which are popular with guests
and locals. The hotel is very
tastefully decorated with
original paintings and prints
and rooms are very
comfortable, particularly the
sea view side.
But what makes the Pebble
Beach special is the
personality of the owner.
Angie is a warm and engaging
person who makes you feel at
home in a far away place. She
has a love and enthusiasm for
her hotel and life in Greece
and she easily shares this
with guests. She is more then
a hotel owner. She is a
gracious host and her
customers return year after
year feeling like they are
part of the family.
The Hotel is a short walk from
the nightlife of Plomari. The
beach is clear and clean and
the small dock they have built
is a great spot for beating
the heat. Being on the south
side of Lesvos means that the
water is usually calm. The swimming pool is
salt-water and of course
popular with children
(especially mine). The bar is
alive with different
languages, particularly
English and Danish and her son
Jimmy keeps the entertainment
level high. (He also misses
baseball so bring your mitt
and a ball) Behind the scenes,
George Saropoulos keeps it all
together, from taking care of
maintainance to making his
special pizza which the hotel
restaurant is famous for. He
also lends a hand at the bar
and like Angie, George is a
ball of energy. But usually by
the end of the night you can
slow either of them down
enough to have a quiet
conversation about what it is
like to live in Lesvos and
what is going on back home in
the USA. If you are looking for a place
where you will feel welcome
and not like a stranger in a
strange land then I encourage
you to spend a few days
here. For more information including rates please contact Hahathakis Travel with this form
or see more photos, guest reviews and book instantly with Booking.com

Aphrodite Beach Hotel
Matt's Pick!
The Aphrodite Beach Hotel
is probably the best family
hotel I have ever stayed
in and in my opinion the best hotel on the island.
Located right on the beach in Vatera, one of the most beautiful and longest beaches in Greece. Immaculate with TV, AC,
balconies, phone, showers and
small kitchens. C-catagory but as good
as an A-catagory and very reasonably priced. Owned by John and George
Hahathakis and completely family
run. John's wife Maria is Canadian
from near Vancouver and everyone
in the hotel speaks English
fluently since the are all from or
connected with Canada or the USA
through marriage or birth. The
entire family works here and they
all take great pride in the fact
that not only do they provide
excellent service but that they
are able to make people feel at
home. Very high percentage of
return customers that come back
every year.
Great taverna in the hotel. They
do Greek dance night with live
music (John was a professional
bouzouki singer and his father
plays too.) The last time I was there in the summer of 2006 there was a big party with roast suckling pig and Yiannis band and everyone dancing on the tables like a Greek taverna. Even the grandmother was dancing! The restuarant is
traditional Greek food and is excellent. Big and diverse menu
and very nice homemade dishes
which are all the mother's
recipes. (She works in the
kitchen with other members of the family). They grow their own organic
vegetables in the garden right next to the hotel, and the chicken, pork and lamb
comes from their farm. The fish is always fresh and they even have sardeles pastes in season. If you have children who you fear may not like Greek food you will be happy to know one of their specialties is pizza and even the locals come for it.
I think anyone who stays here
will be pleased especially if they
have kids because there are lots
of English speaking children
around they can play with. Plus they have something that is unique in Greek hotels but which I believe will soon be quite common. They have a trampoline. I would estimate that the children guests at the hotel spent more hours jumping than they did swimming. The parents enjoyed it too because it was right by the hotel's restaurant so they could relax, eat and drink and watch the children all jumping. I believe a lot of friendships were made in mid-air this past summer. Lots to
see in the area including
traditional villages and hot
thermal springs. But Vatera beach
itself is one of the best beaches
in Greece. The hotel has beach
umbrellas, beach chairs, paddle
boats, volleyball and they rent
bicycles which is great because
Vatera Beach is completely flat
and you can ride for miles. As of the summer 2012 the hotel has a built in swimming pool, a children's pool and a pool bar!
The Aphrodite Beach Hotel also has an
in-house
rent-a-car service
so you can see the wholeisland and a full service travel agency for ferry tickets, tours of Lesvos and to Turkey and booking hotels in Athens and other islands.

The Paradise
Though there are only a few rooms
here and the demand is high, the
Paradise Hotel on the beach at
Gavatha is a wonderful place to
stay if you are looking for a
quiet, almost remote place to
spend your holiday. Owned by Stacy
Katehos, from New Jersey, you may
be able to find a room in the
off-season. If there are no
rooms...well be sure to come by
anyway because her restaurant is
one of the best on the
island. For

Hotels in Skala Kaloni
|
|
Aegeon Hotel
The Aegeon Hotel in Skala Kalloni is one of the
best kept secrets in Lesvos and has a clientele that returns year after year.
The rooms are beyond what one might expect for a C- Catagory hotel, clean,
colorful and tastefully decorated. The cleanliness of the rooms, the lobby, and
the pool are constantly maintained throughout the day and the grounds and
gardens manicured to perfection. Fresh vegetables, are used in cooking dinner each night, and are grown in the hotel's own garden. The staff would rival that of any major hotel and visitors tell of long nights of pleasant conversation with the owner, family and friends who receive high marks for friendliness and hospitality. The Aegeon is located at the very end of town, which makes the evenings very quiet, though the center of town is only about ten minutes' walk along the edge of the Gulf of
Kalloni past the beach and excellent fish tavernas of Skala Kaloni. Breakfast at the Aegean Hotel is ample, delicious and beautifully laid out.
The Hotel AEGEON, has 47 luxurious rooms, all equipped with individual bathroom, telephone, radio, air-conditioning and refrigerator (after request) and comfortable balconies full of sunlight.
The facilities include a large outdoor swimming pool with children's pool. Spacious sunbathing area with sunbeds and umbrellas. Quench your thirst at the pool-bar. At the hotel restaurant the guest can taste - from midday through the evening - the Greek traditional cuisine (accompanied by fish and ouzo).

Villa Anastasia
The Villa Anastasia is located about 10 minutes by foot from the town of Sigri, the coolest town in Lesvos. By cool I mean that when the rest of the island is hot you can still find a breeze in Sigri. In fact the locals laugh if you ask if they have air-conditioning. "Air-conditioning? You will ask for a blanket!"
But Sigri has some great beaches, some of the best on the island and you need a car to get to them (besides the town beach) so being outside of town is not an inconvenience. Anyway this is where my father-in-law stays when he comes to Lesvos. Villa Anastasia is a very new property and consists of four large studios. Each studio can sleep up to 3 adults. The studios at Anastasia are high standard and self-catering. All the studios come with kitchenette and bathroom with
shower and toilet.Furthermore, all studios have a private terrace / balcony with wonderful seaview and view of Sigri Harbour. For more information and booking see the Villa Anastasia website at Hotels of Greece or For

Sigrion
Villas
Matt's Pick! I also recommend the Sigrion
Villas, 5 independent condominiums, all of which face the sea and offer
visitors front porches with sea views. They are an excellent choice for
families, as there is ample space for children to play on the grounds and for
children to have their own 'space' inside the villas. The units are fully
equipped with all one could possibly need while on vacation and are
air-conditioned though nights when you need it in Sigri are rare. The owners
live in one of the units and are eager to be of assistance but also leave guests
with their privacy. They also have a swimming pool. Both the Sigrion Villas and
the Evangelina Apartments are owned by a Greek-American family from Mississippi
who are very helpful and hospitable, especially the daughter Cindy who runs the
Cultural-Educational Hyphenology program
for English-speaking high school students from around the world which takes
place for a couple weeks each summer in Lesvos. For more on the Sigrion Villas

The Tower in
Sigri

Sigri is a traditional building with obvious middle age elements mixed with
the Lesvian architecture. Built on a mountain side, on an eight – acre farm full

the sea. You can walk through the small paved paths that lead you to various
parts of the farm. The beautiful flowers and trees, as well as the rock gardens
