Lesbos Apartments

Mythical Coast is very nice, but feels like a 3 star hotel -- they list themselves as a 5 star hotel. The building is modern and clean and comfortable. The room was excellent. The staff is very friendly and they work hard. We really liked them. The hotel seems understaffed. The staff may be capable of creating a 5 star experience, but there are too few people working there to do that. The outdoor pool is nice but had loud music. I didn't see a life guard. The 3 indoor pools are wonderful. Really great. Warm, warmer and very warm to choose from. We learned later that they are appointment only and are not free to use. The breakfast buffet is just ok. The dinner is mediocre and expensive compared to island prices. The beach requires shoes to enter and exit the water. The Aegean Sea is wonderful. You can take a short taxi ride to the Karpouzi Beach Canteen which has easy access to the water (no shoes needed) and food service. The sauna and hamam require reservation. There isn't much to do within walking distance of the hotel, and there aren't any activities at the hotel. I highly recommend renting a car for 70 Euros and driving to Molyvos. It's about an hour away and you can spend a full day eating, shopping, swimming.

We visited heliotrope hotel in June and had a lovely time. The staff was very polite and with a large smile. The room was very big and spacious for a family of four. Nice bed and nice bathroom too. Everything was very clean. The only negative thing was the mosquitoes. There were a lot!!!! Swimming pool and the bar were very nice too. Breakfast was brilliant! There were plenty of choices for every taste!!! I would definitely stay there again!

We stayed in Loriet Hotel during our visit to Lesvos Island as three couple. We stayed in historical building which has come from 1880. Personnel were very kind. Especially, Bleona came with a solution for our every reguest. She was so helpfull. Breakfast was good enough. We left the hotel with very good memories. Hotel is 4 km to city center and close enough to Airport. It is next to sea. Also there is little market close to hotel. We strongly recommend this hotel to whom coming to Lesvos Island.

We visited Lesvos to minister to the refugees. It's a tough job, so it was wonderful to end every day at our hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the bathrooms fully updated. Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast, served by the beautiful staff. The location was perfect--walking distance to restaurants, but still on a quiet street. I highly recommend this hotel.

We spent seven nights Half Board in early August 2024. It is not really a hotel but more of a holiday village on a hillside overlooking the sea, with a clear view to Turkey on the other side of the water. Being on a hillside there are many stone steps along the pathways to get to the rooms (over 40 from the lobby to our room near the top) and down to the pools, so bear that in mind if you are restricted in some way or find walking on slopes difficult. As we are no longer ”a young couple” it was a bit of a shock on arrival, but we didn't let it spoil the holiday. The room, with free tea and coffee, and a fridge of pay-for soft and alcoholic drinks, was cleaned daily, usually quite early, so no complaints there. It is over an hour's drive from the airport and capital city Miltilini, but don't expect any fancy shopping in Molyvos, the village nearest to the hotel, which provides a free shuttle to the village a few times a day while taxis cost 6 Euro. Many of the island's attractions including the famous Ouzo distillery, the Olive Oil factory and Petrified Forest are also over an hour's drive away on winding Greek roads, so be prepared to rent a car or fork out on an excursion. Closer to home, a stroll round Molyvos harbour is very pleasant, with lots of waterside restaurants. The village railway is a fun and cheap way to get to the next beaches and towns up the coast, with a tireless and entertaining ticket collector and tour director, Alexandra, on board. The hearty breakfast was the best meal of the day, we didn't find the evening meals particularly appetizing, and even on the barbecue evening the food was burned dry. All the staff were super helpful at reception, in the bar and in the pool cafe, although immediately you sit down in the bar balcony to view the amazing sunsets, a waiter zooms in to take your order for drinks, which we found a trifle pushy. Still, business is business, I suppose. In short, it had all the ingredients for the relaxing holiday we were hoping for, and while no hotel is ever perfect, we give this one 4.5 out of 5.
