About
Located near the village of Antissa in the northwestern reaches of Lesvos, elin Katsaramatas is a fuel station serving the elin network, one of Greece's established domestic petroleum brands. For travelers venturing into this quieter, less-visited corner of the island — where the road winds through olive groves and volcanic hillsides toward Sigri and the Petrified Forest — it is a practical and reassuring stop before heading deeper into the peninsula.
The western and northern parts of Lesvos are strikingly beautiful but also sparsely populated, with long stretches between villages and limited services along the way. A reliable fuel stop near Antissa is genuinely useful for road-trippers planning to explore the area around the ancient acropolis of Antissa, the beaches of Sigri, or the UNESCO-recognized Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest. Filling up here gives visitors the freedom to explore at leisure without worrying about running low on the island's back roads.
Before you go
What to expect
A no-frills fuel stop on the main road near Antissa, well-positioned for anyone driving toward Sigri or the Petrified Forest. Fill up here before the road narrows and services thin out further west — this stretch of the island is beautiful but sparsely served. It is a familiar landmark for northwest-bound road-trippers who know the peninsula.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn works well; if you are planning an early-morning western loop, confirm opening hours before you set out.
How to get there
From Mytilene, drive northwest for roughly an hour, passing through Kalloni and continuing toward Antissa; the station sits near the village on the main road.
