About
This bus stop near the village of Alyfada serves as a local transit point along one of the rural routes that connect the smaller settlements of northeastern Lesvos with the island's capital, Mytilini.

Buses serving this area typically pass through on their way to or from Mytilini, making this stop a practical connection point for travelers heading to the capital or venturing further into the island's northeastern landscapes. It is advisable to check current timetables at the KTEL Lesvos office in Mytilini or at the main bus station, as schedules can change seasonally.
