General Beverage Store

Tucked in the village of Agia Paraskevi, this general beverage store is a convenient stop for travelers exploring the fertile inland valleys of Lesvos. Stocking a range of wines, spirits, beers, and soft drinks, it serves both locals and visitors passing through on their way to the island's olive groves, traditional festivals, or the nearby Petrified Forest. Shops like this are the backbone of village life on Lesvos, offering essentials without the need to travel to Mytilene.

Agia Paraskevi is famous for its annual bull festival, a rare surviving pagan tradition where a bull is ceremonially led through the village, and the surrounding area draws visitors interested in authentic rural Lesvos. A stop at the local beverage store is a natural part of any visit — whether you are picking up a bottle of ouzo distilled on the island, a local wine, or simply a cold drink after a warm afternoon of sightseeing. The staff's familiarity with the area also makes these small village shops an informal source of local knowledge about what to see and where to eat nearby.
