Mytilene, the capital city of Lesvos island, is a shining jewel on the crown of the Aegean Sea. Showcasing a combination of Western nobility with its beautifully preserved mansions and Oriental charm due to its proximity to Asia Minor and its traditions, Mytilene enchants visitors with its cobblestone streets, noteworthy architecture, and attractive port promenade.
When your plane lands at Mytilene International Airport (MJT), also known as “Odysseas Elitis” Airport, there are two transfer options to the city centre: a taxi or the bus. A Mytilene airport taxi or private transfer, costing €15 on average, is the most convenient and fast mode, as your ride will begin immediately, and the 7 km distance to the city centre won’t take your driver more than 10-15 minutes if there’s no heavy traffic. Alternatively, the bus is very cost-savvy at €2.10 per single one-way ticket but takes longer to reach town (around 25 minutes).
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Lesvos at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
