About
Georgios Rigas & Sia E.E. is a gas station serving the village of Sigri, located on the remote western tip of Lesvos. For travelers venturing out to this far corner of the island — whether to visit the famous Petrified Forest, the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest, or simply to enjoy Sigri's quiet harbor and unspoiled beaches — a reliable fuel stop is an essential part of the journey. The roads through western Lesvos are scenic but long, and this station provides the practical support that makes exploring the region stress-free.
As one of the few service points in this sparsely populated part of the island, the station plays an important role for both locals and visitors alike. Travelers heading into or out of Sigri can refuel here before continuing along the coastal roads toward Eressos, Antissa, or back toward Mytilene. Stopping here is also a chance to experience the unhurried pace of life in western Lesvos, where small family-run businesses form the backbone of the community.
Before you go
What to expect
Pulling in here at the far western edge of Sigri, you feel the remoteness of this corner of Lesvos — volcanic rock and sparse olive groves stretch around you, the pace is slow, and the attendant has time to chat. It's a purely practical stop, but one that carries the unhurried warmth of a community at the edge of the map.
Best time to visit
Spring and early autumn are best for the long drive west; summer brings more visitors to the Petrified Forest but the roads stay manageable.
How to get there
From Mytilene, head west through Kalloni and Antissa — the drive takes roughly 1.5 hours before you drop into Sigri village where the station sits near the center.
