EKO
About
Tucked along the road near the quiet coastal settlement of Alyfada, this EKO fuel station serves as a reliable pit stop for travellers exploring the lesser-visited eastern reaches of Lesvos. EKO is one of Greece's most established fuel brands, and this station provides the essentials that road-trippers depend on: petrol, diesel, and often LPG, along with basic conveniences to keep a journey moving smoothly.
For visitors venturing into the more remote corners of the island — whether heading toward the rugged northern coastline, the petrified forest near Sigri, or the tranquil villages of the western interior — pausing here makes practical sense before long stretches of road where services grow scarce. The surrounding landscape of olive groves and gentle hills is characteristic of this part of Lesvos, and the station sits within easy reach of the coast, making it a natural waypoint for those combining scenic drives with beach visits. Stopping here is a small but sensible part of exploring Lesvos at your own pace.
Before you go
What to expect
Positioned on the road out of Mytilene near the small coastal area of Alyfada, this EKO station is a familiar first stop for anyone collecting a rental car and heading off to explore the island. The forecourt covers the basics — petrol, diesel, and usually LPG — with the calm efficiency of a well-used neighbourhood stop rather than anything tourist-facing. The olive-dotted hills that characterise this part of Lesvos begin right at the edge of the forecourt.
Best time to visit
Open year-round; fill up here before long drives into the rural interior or the northern coastline, where fuel stations grow scarce.
How to get there
The station sits just outside central Mytilene, a short drive from the port — you'll pass through this area almost naturally when leaving town by car.
