Very good mechanic and knowledgeable. Specialist in specific car models. Also a very analytical and correct car dealer. I bought a car and it was exactly as he had described it to me. Even after the purchase, he was there for technical advice and support!
Experienced and reliable craftsman, and without any intention of stealing from you
About
Tucked near the quiet coastal settlement of Alyfada in the northeastern reaches of Lesvos, Kritikos Motorsport stands as a practical and welcome resource for anyone exploring the island on two or four wheels. Whether you have arrived by rental car, motorcycle, or your own vehicle shipped over from the mainland, the roads of Lesvos reward the adventurous driver with sweeping coastal curves, mountain passes, and long stretches of open asphalt connecting remote villages and hidden coves. Having a reliable local specialist on hand makes all the difference when you are planning a longer journey across the island's diverse terrain.
The business offers mechanical services, parts, and the kind of hands-on expertise that comes from working with the vehicles that actually navigate these roads day in and day out. Lesvos is a large island by Greek standards, and its interior routes in particular can be demanding on engines and tyres, especially during the warmer months. Knowing there is a knowledgeable team nearby gives independent travellers and road-trippers genuine peace of mind as they set out to discover the olive groves, volcanic landscapes, and Byzantine villages that make Lesvos one of the Aegean's most rewarding destinations to explore at your own pace.
For visitors with a passion for motorsport beyond the practical, Kritikos represents a point of connection with the local community of enthusiasts who share an appreciation for the machine and the open road. Stopping in is a chance to get honest local advice on the best routes, road conditions in different seasons, and the kind of insider knowledge that no travel app can replicate. In a part of Lesvos that sees relatively few tourists venture off the main coastal road, it is precisely this sort of genuine, specialist local business that gives the northeastern corner of the island its unhurried, authentic character.
Before you go
What to expect
A working garage staffed by mechanics who drive these roads themselves — you can expect straightforward, knowledgeable service and route tips that only come from local experience. Whether you need a tyre check before tackling Lesvos's mountain passes or a part sourced quickly after an unexpected breakdown, the focus is on getting you back on the road.
Best time to visit
Open year-round, though most in demand from spring through autumn when rental car and motorcycle traffic on the island peaks.
How to get there
Located in Mytilini, roughly 1 km from the town centre — a short drive or easy walk from most ferry-side hotels and central accommodation.

Unfortunately I had him in my estimation. He said he cleaned the gas tank but the filter was still filling up with gunk and after a while I took it to another mechanic and he opened it and took out a lot of gunk from inside, the 200 euros I gave him for nothing and he lied to me that he cleaned it, and how many lies he would have told all this time I was taking my car there I will never know, the other thing now for changing the steering arm he took 100 euros because he says it's tiring for his assistant to take it out because he didn't have a puller, and? Take it. It doesn't matter that you took it from me to eat it in medicines, he just knows how to talk and show that he has knowledge to someone who has no idea, stay away from this workshop

We spoke with Panagiotis on the phone from a distance... I chose to buy a very old car which is in excellent condition for its age, and exactly as he described it to me... I truly thank him from the bottom of my heart for his service and professionalism... impeccable!!! I highly recommend Cretan Motorsports and I hope we can work together again!!!
