Galazio Asteri 1 Hotel Apartments
About
Nestled along the sun-warmed coastline near Paralia Thermis, Galazio Asteri 1 Hotel Apartments — whose name translates simply as "Blue Star" — offers self-catering accommodation in one of Lesvos's most quietly rewarding corners. The settlement of Paralia Thermis sits just north of Mytilene, where the island's famous thermal springs have drawn visitors for centuries, and the surrounding landscape carries that unhurried, restorative quality that has long defined this stretch of the eastern Aegean coast.
The apartment-style format makes Galazio Asteri 1 a natural choice for families and independent travellers who prefer the flexibility of their own kitchen and living space over a traditional hotel stay. Guests can settle into a rhythm of morning swims in the crystalline waters nearby, afternoons exploring the thermal baths or the olive groves that carpet the hills inland, and evenings dining at the seafront tavernas that define village life along this coastline. The proximity to Mytilene — the island's capital — means that the cultural riches of the city, from its Byzantine castle to its lively harbour market, are easily within reach.
For visitors who want to experience Lesvos beyond the busier resort areas, Paralia Thermis and its surroundings reward those who linger. The combination of affordable, independent accommodation at Galazio Asteri 1 and a setting between thermal springs, pebble beaches, and traditional village life offers an authentic taste of the island that package tourism rarely delivers.
Before you go
What to expect
Staying here means slipping into an unhurried village routine rather than a resort schedule — short walks to the pebble shore, an afternoon at the nearby thermal baths, and evenings at seafront tavernas where the clientele is as much local as tourist. Paralia Thermis feels genuinely lived-in, with fishing boats anchored offshore and the olive-covered hills rising just behind the waterfront.
Best time to visit
Late May through September for swimming; the thermal springs draw visitors even in the quieter shoulder months when the village is most peaceful.
How to get there
Paralia Thermis is about 15–20 minutes by car from Mytilene following the coastal road north, a scenic drive that traces the shoreline and gives early views of the Aegean.

The room is clean. The AC system was working very well. The room had its own balcony, and the view was beautiful. The hotel is very quiet, and the staff are happy to help you. There is no parking problem. The beds are really comfortable, and the room is big enough for a family, especially with kids. The bath is better than most of the hotels I have stayed in. It is a little bit far from the nice points of the island. If you like to walk like us, there are nice beaches within 20 minutes’ walking distance. The restaurants close to the hotel were not very friendly

We stayed 4 nights and really enjoyed it. The hotel was very clean (cleanliness is the most important thing for us, it was so clean we felt like home), beds were comfortable, and the host was so kind and gave us great restaurant tips and smiles. The area is calm and nice, with a small beach just a minute away and Skala Mistegnon beach about 10 minutes away, where we spent most of our days. And the view was perfection, especially at sunrise. Perfect spot for a relaxing stay

Our stay at Galazio Asteri 1 was truly wonderful. Dimitris and Michaela were incredibly hospitable; whenever we needed something, they were right there to help and made us feel completely at home. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, and the shared areas were just as perfectly clean. It also offered fun spaces for children, with a pool and a playground full of toys. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting Mytilene.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel in Mytilene. The rooms were clean and very well-equipped for a longer stay, with an electric Turkish tea kettle, filter coffee machine, frappe maker, microwave, and iron. The owners, Michaela and her husband Dimitris, were warm and extremely helpful – they even gave us a lift into town. Situated in a non-touristy part of Lesbos, the hotel is right by a local taverna, shop, and café, giving a real taste of everyday island life. If you plan to explore a lot of the island, a car might be useful for longer stays. Thank you so much, Michaela and Dimitris! We hope to see you again, and we’d definitely love to visit your hotel in Chios – Toulipa Rooms.

It was a great 3-night stay for me and my wife. The area is very quite, suitable for relaxing. Our room was comfortable and kept clean. We had our breakfasts at the small but useful kitchen inside the room. There is a mini market and a nice restaurant by the seaside very close to the Hotel. There is a beach about 500 metres away with food and drink facilities. But the best thing about the Hotel was the hospitality. The owners are always smiling and trying to help. I can easily say that they were the best hotel owners I have ever seen. They really want you to feel like home. If we are back to Lesvos, Galazio Asteri is definitely the address. 🙏🙏

From the moment we arrived, the Michaela and Dimitri made us feel welcome and this hotel made everything stress-free and enjoyable. The rooms were clean, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped for families—we even had a kitchenette that made mealtimes easier. We enjoyed the pool a lot and truly had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning. If you're looking for a clean, safe, and fun place to stay, this is a top choice!

We had a fantastic time at Galazio Asteri 1! The view of the water was beautiful, especially in the mornings, and the pool was clean and well-maintained. Having private parking made everything so much easier. The apartment was quiet, cozy, and had everything we needed. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, and the fact that it’s pet friendly was a huge bonus for us. If we visit Lesvos again, I have no doubt we’ll stay here again. Highly recommended!

The room and kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. Most importantly, the hotel owners were very helpful. They even left small gift packages in the room. They even contacted the car rental company and arranged for us to return the car a little later. Thank you very much for everything.

Dimitri his wife Michaela and his mother Maria made us feel at home from the time we arrived. Their hotel is very unique with very clean rooms, crisp white sheets and very comfortable bed. The rooms have a self contained kitchen with microwave and full size fridge. The location is amazing so close to bus stops, restaurants, cafes and mini markets. The beach and Agios Rafael is also very close by. The family run business pays great attention to detail with their garden, pool and overall service; you will see it when you stay there. I highly recommend this hotel and I will definitely stay there again. Thank you Dimitri for making our stay here so memorable. Can you please give a big hug and kiss to your beautiful mother Maria as she wasn't there when we left. She made us feel part of her family.

The hotel owner Dimitris was extremely hospitable, helpful, polite, dedicated, and attentive. Along with his spouse, they made every effort to ensure our comfort throughout the entire vacation. You can witness their attention to detail in every square inch of the hotel. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were spotlessly clean, and every detail was meticulously organized using top-quality materials. The pool was well-maintained and impeccably clean. You can come here without any doubt. We will definitely come back.
