About
Fotis Rent a Car Mytilini is a local car rental service based in Mytilini, the capital and main port city of Lesvos. For visitors arriving by ferry or plane who want to explore the island on their own terms, having access to a reliable rental vehicle is essential — Lesvos is a large island, and many of its most rewarding destinations, from the petrified forest of Sigri to the thermal springs of Eftalou and the traditional villages of the Plomari region, are best reached by private transport. A locally run operation like this one typically offers the kind of personal service and island-specific knowledge that larger chains cannot match.
Renting a car from a family-run business in Mytilini gives visitors the freedom to follow their own itinerary — arriving early at a secluded beach before the crowds, lingering over lunch in a hillside village, or making a spontaneous detour to a Byzantine castle or an olive grove estate. The staff at local rental agencies are often a valuable source of practical advice about road conditions, seasonal closures, and hidden spots that do not appear in the guidebooks. Whether you are spending a few days or a couple of weeks on Lesvos, picking up a set of keys here and heading out to discover the island at your own pace is one of the most rewarding ways to experience everything this remarkable island has to offer.
Before you go
What to expect
The counter here runs on first-name terms — staff know which coastal tracks turn rough after winter rain, where to stop for a proper lunch between villages, and which detours are worth the extra twenty minutes. You leave with a key and a short briefing that doubles as a pocket guide to the island's back roads.
Best time to visit
Spring and early autumn are the easiest seasons to secure a vehicle; July and August bring peak demand, so booking a few days ahead is wise.
How to get there
The office is in central Mytilini, within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal, making pickup straightforward whether you arrive by sea or fly into the island's airport a few kilometres to the south.

Fotis is truly a very professional person who never lets anyone down. He informed us a day in advance that the work on the manual Ford Focus we had agreed upon was taking longer than expected, and offered us an automatic 7-seater C4 at the agreed price instead. We were very pleased with his approach and friendly demeanor. We visit the island frequently, and from now on, instead of driving my own car, I will contact Fotis every time I come. Thank you Fotis, see you again 👋

Due to a disappointing experience with another rental company, I was desperately trying to find a car at the last minute, so I visited almost every rental company in the city center. Demand was so high that finding a car was impossible. Most of the companies I visited said they had no cars available as soon as I walked in, but Fotis worked wonders, they tried very hard and found us a car. The car they found saved our holiday from being ruined. I would like to thank Fotis again and send my regards.

We made a reservation by phone a few days before going to the island. The car was ready when we arrived. Fotis is a very understanding and accommodating person. He made everything easy for us. When we returned the car, we were able to leave our belongings in his office until the ferry departure time. Because we had a lot of luggage, he offered to drive us to the port even though he wasn't obligated to. He is a very kind and trustworthy person. We definitely recommend him. Note: Fotis will call you during the WhatsApp reservation process. He expects you to answer and communicate verbally. Otherwise, he may not accept the reservation.

Great rental place. I rented a 200cc scooter for 2 weeks for a good price, the bike was running perfect. Fotis, his wife and their little son were very friendly. They also gave a ride to the airport. so deffinately reccommend that place....
