Mytilini things to see & do

These are some highlight of things to do within the Mytilini town

Castle

Visits the Mytilini Castle it is really awesome and there is good chance that there will also be festival with Greek music, which would be a fun thing to do.

Lightgouse(s)

There are two lighthouses on the Mytilini port, visit both!  The one that is next to where the ferries are is a great short 30min walk and you can have great views of the town Mytilene and the cost line.  The other small lighthouse, is great to walk there to as there is a small coffee/mezes place. Its a great place to go and chill to have a coffee or ouzo with some mezedes. The view from that light house is really nice.

Tsamakia


This is the small beach under the statue of Liberty. Yes, indeed we have our own statue of Liberty!  This is a rocky beach with very deep waters, its fun for a short swim.

Prokimea / Port

The port of mytilini and the streets around is something that you should explore and just drift around is full of life nice tavernas, bars, shops etc' take your time and enjoy the architecture.  On the one side of the port are the bars and on the other are the tavernes and souvlaki places, try both and have a great walk on this beautiful port.

Agora / The Market

The Mytilini Market has a special character that is very unique and you will enjoy it. Make sure you walk all the agora from the one side to the other. It starts from where is the park on the port and goes straight all the way to the beach on the other side of the town.  When you arrive there at the end of the market you will find two very famous tavernes go to either of them "Ermis" or "To kastro" if you cannot find it ask someone and they will direct you.
