About
Anemokampi is a Greek taverna located near the village of Pyrgoi Thermis, in the northeastern part of Lesvos. Situated in a landscape shaped by the island's volcanic terrain and thermal springs, this restaurant serves the kind of honest, home-style Greek cooking that the island is quietly celebrated for among those who venture beyond the main tourist hubs.
Guests can expect the staples of a traditional taverna: slow-cooked meats, fresh salads dressed with local olive oil, grilled fish, and seasonal dishes rooted in the flavors of the Aegean. The area around Pyrgoi Thermis is known for its relaxed pace and proximity to the famous thermal baths of Thermi, making a meal at Anemokampi a natural stop for visitors exploring this quieter corner of the island.
For travelers looking to eat as the locals do, a village taverna like Anemokampi offers something no resort restaurant can replicate — a genuine connection to the rhythms of Lesvian life, unhurried service, and food that tastes of the land and sea around it.
Before you go
What to expect
Tables fill with locals on weekends, and the kitchen follows the seasons — slow-braised lamb in cooler months, grilled fish and village salads when the heat settles in. The setting is quietly pastoral, tucked among olive groves and the volcanic hills that define this northeastern corner of the island, with the thermal baths of Thermi just a short drive away.
Best time to visit
Spring and autumn are ideal — the weather is pleasant and the area draws far fewer visitors than the July–August peak.
How to get there
Pyrgoi Thermis is about 10–12 km north of Mytilene along the northeastern coast road, a drive of roughly 15 minutes. Anemokampi sits within or very close to the village.
