Top quality!!! If you don't try them you will NOT understand the difference with the "chemical garbage" of multinationals....
I ordered green olive oil soaps.. they really have nothing to do with the soaps on the market. Fast delivery to my place, I will prefer you again! Thanks for the gift ❤️
About
Tucked away near the quiet village of Afalonas in the northern reaches of Lesvos, Chondrompilas Vasileios represents the kind of small, family-run establishment that gives rural Greek island life much of its charm. This corner of Lesvos sits amid rolling olive groves and pine-covered hills, far from the busier tourist circuits of Mytilene or Molyvos, attracting visitors who seek authentic encounters with local life rather than packaged experiences. Businesses like this one serve as quiet anchors for their communities, places where locals gather and where the unhurried rhythms of the island become tangible.
Stopping here offers a chance to connect with the everyday fabric of Lesvos beyond the postcard scenes. Whether for provisions, a conversation over coffee, or simply to get a sense of how village commerce has sustained these communities for generations, a visit rewards the curious traveler. The northern part of the island around Afalonas is less traveled than the west coast's petrified forest or the southern spa towns, making any local business in this area feel genuinely off the beaten path. Visitors exploring the region's Byzantine chapels, stone-paved paths, or the sweeping views toward the Turkish coast will find it worthwhile to seek out places like this as part of a slower, more immersive way of discovering Lesvos.
Before you go
What to expect
This small family business sits at the heart of Afalonas, a village of olive groves and quiet hillside lanes just outside Mytilene. Inside you will find the kind of unhurried, genuinely local atmosphere that eastern Lesvos does well — a place where neighbours catch up and the pace is set by the island, not the tourist calendar. It is the sort of stop that rewards curiosity rather than planning.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn works well; even in July and August the village stays calm and uncrowded.
How to get there
Afalonas is only a few kilometres northeast of Mytilene — a ten-minute drive through olive groves brings you into the village.

Amazing soaps, the green ones are like the old soaps, they clean everything, they are magical for hands, they don't dry out, they are pure with great scents that last and especially for those who have skin problems, they are just right. A thousand bravos to all of them.

The best, purest green soap, for years! My grandfather who died at 98, as well as my parents who are approaching 85, only use this, in the bordering Evros Prefecture, with aroma, foam and quality!

The best green soap I have ever used by far, both in smell and lather. I have also bought others with fragrance but have not used them yet. The prices are excellent!!!

Almost two years ago I ordered several soaps from Mr. Dimitris for my wedding. In addition to the excellent cooperation we had, the soaps had such a clean scent, were of excellent quality, made with a lot of care and attention. We must support such businesses!
