About
Nestled near the shores of Skala Kalloni, the Imerti Resort Hotel offers a comfortable base for exploring one of Lesvos's most rewarding corners. Skala Kalloni sits beside the sheltered Gulf of Kalloni, a shallow, nutrient-rich inlet renowned across Europe as a premier birdwatching destination, where flamingos, waders, and migratory species gather in remarkable numbers during spring and autumn. Staying at the Imerti places guests within easy reach of this natural spectacle, as well as the salt marshes, fishing harbour, and the seafront tavernas for which the village is famous — particularly its celebrated locally caught sardines.
The resort provides a full range of amenities expected of a modern hotel, including swimming pool facilities, comfortable rooms, and hospitality rooted in the warm Greek tradition of filoxenia. Whether guests are arriving for a dedicated birding trip, a family beach holiday, or a leisurely exploration of the island's interior, the Imerti serves as a relaxed and well-appointed retreat after days spent discovering Lesvos. The surrounding landscape — rolling olive groves, wetlands, and the calm blue waters of the gulf — gives the setting a quietly beautiful character distinct from the busier coastal resorts elsewhere on the island.
For travellers seeking a slower, more authentic Lesvos experience, the Imerti Resort Hotel represents an appealing choice. The village of Skala Kalloni itself has an unhurried pace, with a working harbour where fishing boats bring in the day's catch and locals gather at waterfront cafes in the evening. From this base, guests can venture easily to the medieval monastery of Limonos, the traditional hilltop village of Kalloni, and numerous unspoiled beaches along the gulf's sheltered shores.
Before you go
What to expect
Mornings here often start with coffee by the pool before heading out to scan the wetlands for flamingos just minutes away. In the evenings, the harbour fills with locals and guests sharing plates of fresh sardines at the waterfront tables — one of Skala Kalloni's genuine pleasures. The pace is unhurried and the landscape quietly absorbing, with olive groves and the still waters of the gulf framing every view.
Best time to visit
Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) for peak birdwatching; summer suits families seeking pool days and calm gulf swimming.
How to get there
From Mytilene, take the main road west toward Kalloni — the drive is roughly 45 minutes and passes through the island's olive-covered interior before dropping down to the gulf.

We have just returned home after a wonderful holiday at the Imerti Hotel. The owners , Stratos and George told us theirs is the best hotel in Lesvos but actually they are too modest - it's the best in the whole of Greece. They told us to say on the review that the hotel is ideally situated for a short walk into the village of Skala Kalloni which has several good restaurants and great views of the bay. The friendly atmosphere, great service, nice pool and comfortable rooms make it a joy to stop here. Hope you don't blush too much at the review Stratos and George- you've earned it Love and best wishes Ian and Margaret x

Home from home in Greek paradise I write this as I leave the Imerti Hotel and head to the airport with a heavy heart. I almost don't want to tell you how lovely our week has been, because I want it to be kept a secret, but, at the same time, the Imerti Hotel deserves this review. The hotel is lovely, we stayed in an apartment room with our teenage son and it was perfect, clean and comfortable with a lovely balcony. The service at the hotel was so welcoming, Stratos and George are so friendly and along with the kitchen staff work tirelessly. As for Skala Kallonis, we felt this was a hidden Gem, a very relaxed and real greek feel. As for Lesvos itself, what a great place, we hired a car for 4 days and fully recommend this. Without doubt, we will be back again soon, thank you for such a special stay.

Fabulous hotel! My partner and I arrived and were greeted by the perfect hosts. We were even upgraded to a larger room as they had one that wasn’t being used for the week. Our room was great, with a small fridge and sink, which overlooked the pool. The breakfasts were very tasty with a selection of cold and hot options. The pool area was great with lots of sun-beds available. The pool bar had some nice food and drink options (although quite expensive). The hotel is situated about a 10 minute walk away from the main resort where there are a selection of bars and restaurants (our favourites were Sambo and Caprice situated right next to the beach). Overall a fantastic, quiet hotel with excellent hosts. Happy to recommend if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday.

Wonderful family run, friendly hotel. We spent ten nights here from the end of July this year. Stratos & Giwrgos were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We had a really relaxing time. The hotel is well run and very clean. Chrys who works in the pool bar in the afternoons couldn’t do enough for us. We mentioned that we might travel into Molivos one day, within a few minutes she had written down the bus timetables and taxi stops we would need.

From arriving we were made very welcome, the two brothers, George and Stratos are really fantastic and couldn't have done more to make our two weeks at Imerti anymore pleasurable. Beautiful pool and surroundings set in a rural area and only a few minutes walk to the port,where the restaurants ,bars and beach are. Highly recommend anyone who enjoys a layed back holiday. Local car hire is available for anyone who wants to explore this Beautiful island

I have just spent 2 weeks at the Imerti with my family, including a 22 month old. We had a fantastic time. The hotel was in a great position to the town, which was a nice flat walk. It was well run, clean and spacious. The staff couldn't do enough to help. The square was about 5 -6 mins away, there were far more restaurants and bars than we expected. Everyone made you welcome and remembered you. It was very friendly. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. We will be returning at some point.
So we all agree right Guys?

lovely family run hotel, we have enjoyed our stat here so much. We went bed and breakfast and the food has been amazing every morning. The facilities are excellent, the kids love the pool and the hot tub in the evenings. The location is fantastic for walking into the village centre. I would recommend this hotel to families and those that want a relaxing holiday with a real greek experience
