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.

Hotels in Molyvos

The Hotel Seahorse

Hotels in Lesvos: Seahorse on Molyvos 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.

The SUNRISE HOTEL:

Hotels in Lesvos, Sunrise in Molyvos 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

Molyvos: Homes for rentMatt'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

Hotels in Mytilini

Blue Sea Hotel

Hotel Blue Sea: Mytilini 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 contact Hahathakis Travel or you can see more photos, guest reviews and book instantly with Booking.com

The Pyrgos Mytilini

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 more information including rates please contact Hahathakis Travel or you can see more photos, guest reviews and book instantly with Booking.com

The Princess Hotel

Hotel Princess, Mytlilini, Lesvos, GreeceThe 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

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.

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.

PEBBLE BEACH HOTEL

Hotels in Lesvos: Pebble Beach in PlomariMatt'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. 

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

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.

Aphrodite Beach Hotel, LesvosGreat 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.

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. 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. For photos and more information see their page on HotelsofGreece.com or you can see more photos, guest reviews and book instantly with Booking.com

Hotels in Gavatha

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.

Aegeon Hotel

Hotels in Sigri

Villa Anastasia

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

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.
