If the car hire company you have chosen does not have a counter at Mytilene Airport (MJT), you should check with your car hire company if they will provide you with a free transfer to the rental station or if you need to add a shuttle service. However, some providers will also deliver your hired car to the airport, so it's worth taking a look at the fine print.
Mytilene at night
As there are currently only three car hire companies operating at Mytilene Airport, you would be well advised to book your hired car as early as possible so that you do not have to leave the airport without a vehicle once you arrive, as supply can be very limited, especially in the summer months, which is the high season:
Should you have chosen a vehicle with a fair refuelling policy when hiring your hired car, then you have made a good choice, as there are no gas stations in the immediate vicinity of the airport, so you do not have to go in search of a gas station right away. The nearest Shell gas station is located in the direction of the island's capital on "El Venizelou", although you will find two more gas stations there.
If you don't want to start your island adventure with your hired car, you can reach the island capital Mytilene by bus or cab. Cabs equipped with taximeters can be found in front of the terminal and the journey takes around 15-20 minutes, with a one-way ticket costing around €10. By bus you can also reach almost every other place on the island for a fare between 10€ (Mytilini) and 115 € (Skala Eressos), whereby at the latter fare the rental of a car is already worthwhile in any case.
With just over 6,000 aircraft movements and almost 500,000 passengers per year, Mytilene Airport is not one of the largest airports in Greece, which is why the services offered at the airport are not particularly extensive. At least you can choose between sandwiches, pizza and salads as well as various coffees in the so-called Aircanteen, so you don't have to start your flight hungry. In addition, there are a few stores in the terminal and free Wi-Fi, it is also not lacking.
Port of Mytilene
Flowering oleander, rugged coastlines and fishing boats gently swaying in the water make up the charm of the predominantly agricultural island of Lesvos with its more than 40 different stretches of beach.
Reason enough to go on a round trip over the island of philosophy and art with your hired car or at least to make some side trips to the most beautiful sights.
Starting from Mytilene with the hired car towards the north, you could, for example, head for the fortress in Molyvos and continue your journey via Petra towards Sigri and take a look at the Museum of Natural History of the Petrified Forest and the Petrified Forest itself, before heading via Kalloni to the Temple of Messon and the hot springs in Lesvos.
But also a side trip to the Barbayannis Ouzo Museum in Plomari should be on your to-do list, because, who would have thought it, Lesvos produces about 50% of the total Greek ouzo production, so here, in one of the best distilleries you might want to buy a bottle of this Greek anise spirit as a souvenir.
