EKO
About
Tucked along the road near the quiet village of Larisos, this EKO fuel station serves as a reliable pit stop for travellers exploring the western reaches of Lesvos. EKO is one of Greece's most established fuel brands, offering petrol and diesel alongside the kind of no-fuss service that road-trippers come to appreciate when venturing beyond the main tourist hubs.
For visitors making their way toward the island's more remote corners — whether heading to the petrified forest at Sigri, the traditional villages of the western interior, or the wild beaches of the southwest coast — this station provides a welcome opportunity to refuel before the roads narrow and amenities thin out. Distances on Lesvos can be deceiving, and the island's hilly terrain means fuel consumption adds up; stopping here makes practical sense before committing to a longer detour.
Beyond the basics, EKO stations in Greece typically carry a small selection of drinks, snacks, and essentials, making it a handy spot to stock up for a picnic or a long drive. The surroundings near Larisos offer a glimpse of everyday rural Lesvos, away from the crowds — a reminder that much of the island's authentic charm lies precisely in these unhurried, workaday corners that most visitors pass through without a second glance.

Pull in to fill the tank before the roads toward the west narrow and amenities thin out — the station is swift and no-fuss, with a small shop stocked with water, snacks, and travel basics. The quiet setting near Larisos gives you a glimpse of everyday rural Lesvos, far from the tourist bustle.
Best time to visit
Open year-round and most critical in summer, when day-trippers push deep into the western interior on roads where the next fuel stop can be a long way off.
How to get there
Located about 7–8 km from Mytilene on the road toward Larisos, roughly a 10-minute drive west from the city centre.
