Lesvos Hotel Guide

Seahorse Hotel in Molyvos, LesvosThere 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 Cycladic islands, in fact many are a bargain in comparison to 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 listed hotels which you can book directly with that are able to assist you with other aspects of your holiday.The Hotels that are Matt's Pick are the ones I have stayed at and loved and am pretty sure you will too.

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 and the hills and valleys near the Sunrise Hotel get their fair share, not to mention the beautiful wildflowers that are in bloom too. The hotel has just added a sauna and gym and a new restaurant-bar.

Hotels in Lesvos, Sunrise in Molyvos Matt's Pick! The SUNRISE HOTEL 
The best place we stayed in would have to be the Sunrise Hotel in Molyvos. The 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.

Hotels in Lesvos: Olive Press in Molyvos The Hotel Olive Press is an old olive oil factory on the beach in Molyvos, a short walk from the restaurants and nightlife of the town. It has a beautiful interior courtyard, comfortabe rooms, a bar, restaurants and tennis courts. It's a catagory B and has 91 beds. The only problem with this hotel (and several of the others close to the town beach in Molyvos) is the noise from the motorcycles, especially on weekends in July and August because of a popular bar in the neighborhood. It is a situation that is causing some friction between the hotel owners and the mayor of Molyvos and until they negotiate some kind of compromise my advice is to be sure you get a room on the sea-side of this hotel or else stay in the harbor or at the Sunrise or one of the hotels towards Eftalou. If you are planning to stay at any of the hotels in this area be sure to ask for a room away from the street and ask your travel agent to call the Mayor of Molyvos and ask him why he allows the motorcycles in a quiet residential area.

Hotels in Mytilini

Hotel Princess, Mytlilini, Lesvos, GreeceMatt's Pick! 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.

Hotel 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 rates and availability on this hotel, or for other travel arrangements in Greece, click here to contact Hahathakis Travel in Lesvos

Hotel Blue Sea: Mytilini 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.

 Hotels in Plomari

Hotels in Lesvos: Pebble Beach in PlomariMatt's Pick! PEBBLE BEACH HOTEL
 
20 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. 

Hotels in Lesvos, Hotels in Mytilini, Hotels in Molyvos, Hotels in Eressos, accommodations in Lesvos, Lesvos hotels, Hotels in Greece, Greek hotels, 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.

Hotels in Vatera

Matt's Pick! Aphrodite Beach Hotel is probably the best family hotel I have ever stayed in! Right on the beach. Maybe 50 rooms. 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 excellent homemade dishes which are all the mother's recipes. (She works in the kitchen). They grow their own 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. 

aphrodite hotel trampoline, lesvos, greeceI 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.
The Aphrodite Beach Hotel also has an in-house
rent-a-car service so you can see the whole island.
See

 The Hotel VATERA BEACH is owned by George and Barbara Ballis. Barbara grew up in New York, attended Antioch (where my Dad went too!) where she got a degree in Biochemistry, worked at MIT in Biophysics and then as the Scientific editor at Houghton Mifflin. She got the bug, moved to Greece and never looked back. George was a well known actor in Athens for over 20 years with the National Theatre, commercial theatre, movies and television. He has also written plays, serials for TV, articles and then became a documentary filmmaker. They decided they had enough of city life in Athens, packed up the kids and moved to Vatera to open their hotel.

The hotel's 24 rooms, including two family rooms, each have private WC and shower, music, direct-dial telephone, refridgerator, central heating and large balconies with sea and mountain view. Facilities include restaurant, cafeteria & bar, taverna, sitting room, officially approved exchange, post, tourist corner, beach volley, and nearby children's playground . Umbrellas and sun-beds are available for the seaside. Water sport facilities can be found at the organized beach just 1 km distant.

Hotels in Gavatha

The Paradise

If there are no rooms...well be sure to come by anyway because her restaurant is one of the best on the island.

Hotels in Sigri

villa, sigri, lesvos, greeceThe 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 prices and booking information you can contact Joanna at Sappho Travel with this form

Matt's Pick! Evangelia Apartments are located in the heart of the village of Sigri, Evangelia Apartments is an established and popular accommodation unit. Visitors have a choice of two types of rooms here: one-room studios or two-room apartments.

There are 6 studios, three on the ground floor and three on the first floor.  The first floor studios offer sea views from private balconies, with superb views of Sigri castle and the Aegean sea.  Each studio has two single beds, fridge, kitchenette, kettle, private bathroom (shower and toilet), closet, and fans. The ground floor rooms are the same, with balconies offering more limited views of the sea.

Evangelia also has two apartments, which are ideal for a family with young children or for 2 persons wanting more space.  One apartment is on the first floor and boasts a large balcony with views of Sigri castle and side views of the sea.  It has two single beds, two private bathrooms (with showers and toilets), a kitchenette, fridge/freezer, kettle, dining table, sofa (which converts into single bed).  Another bed may be added to the common room, if requested. See their website at www.hotelsofgreece.com/northaegean/lesvos/evangelia-apartments  

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.

The Tower in Sigri, LesvosThe Tower in 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 of olive trees, citrus trees and other vegetation, it has a wonderful view of 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 with running water offer the ideal environment for relaxation and rest.

Parts of petrified trees come into view at some places of the farm, what is now left, after millions of years. The Tower is 150m away from the ocean, 500m from the village and 600m from the beach. The Tower consists of four apartments and a ground floor (reception) decorated with Lesvian antiques from the past century.

Each apartment has central heating, air-conditioning, NOVA TV , internet, rest room , kitchen, dining room, bedroom with traditional furniture and bed antiques over 200 years old. Washing machine for personal use. For prices and booking information you can contact Joanna at Sappho Travel with this form

You can  book these hotels through any of the agents listed on the Travel Agent page. If you book directly please let these Hotels know you found them through Matt Barrett's Lesvos Guide. 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 listed some hotels which you can book directly with that are able to assist you with other aspects of your holiday.
