Leonis Real Estate Agency since 1925
Visitors say
We thank Antonis for the quick communication and service even at hours and days outside of his normal business hours.
I had the best possible experience with Mr. Leonis' real estate agency, he immediately understood what I was looking for, showed me the properties the same day and responded to everything I asked for.
About
Leonis Real Estate Agency, established in 1925, stands as one of the oldest property firms on Lesvos, a testament to the island's enduring appeal as a place where people have long chosen to put down roots. Located near the quiet settlement of Alyfada on the island's eastern coast, this agency carries nearly a century of local knowledge about the land, villages, and coastline of Lesvos — a depth of expertise that is rare and genuinely valuable in a real estate market as nuanced as this one.
For visitors who find themselves captivated by the island and begin to dream of owning a piece of it, Leonis offers the kind of grounded, long-term perspective that only comes from generations of working within a single community. Whether you are drawn to a traditional stone house in an olive-shaded village, a seaside plot along the Aegean, or a restored kafeneion in a historic settlement, the agency's familiarity with local property law, inheritance customs, and regional character can make the difference between a frustrating search and a seamless one.
Even for travellers with no immediate intention to buy, the agency's longevity speaks to something meaningful about Lesvos itself — that it has attracted and retained people who believe in its future as much as its past. Stopping in or getting in touch is worthwhile for anyone seriously considering making a longer-term connection to this remarkable island.
Before you go
What to expect
Stepping into Leonis feels less like visiting an agency and more like consulting a local institution that has watched the island change across generations. The staff carry a century of accumulated knowledge about Lesvos property — village by village, coastline by coastline — and conversations here tend to be unhurried and genuinely informative. If you have fallen for the island and started wondering about ownership, this is the right place to begin.
Best time to visit
Open year-round; spring and autumn are ideal for property visits when the island is quieter and the landscape at its most appealing.
How to get there
Leonis is located right in Mytilene, making it one of the easiest stops on the island — a short walk or a few minutes' drive from the harbour or city centre.

My experience with Mr. Leonis was excellent from start to finish. From our first meeting, he showed great interest in my needs and preferences, and guided me with care, showing that he has extensive experience in the real estate market on the island. The process was completed without any problems, I highly recommend him!

We flew from Thessaloniki to find a house in Mytilene with a 4-day period on the island. The contact was made before we arrived on the island. He never picked up the phone again, neither landline nor mobile. We left the island without having seen the properties on his website. Fortunately, there are other real estate agents and professionals in Mytilene!

We sincerely regret the negative impression that the service from our office left you with. The broker was in Athens for an urgent and extraordinary medical reason. We hope that you understand that in such cases health takes precedence over any other matter and his absence is due to force majeure, and not indifference, although as you correctly mentioned there is no commitment and you were served by colleagues.<br>Unfortunately, you did not accept to arrange a new appointment once the broker had returned to the island, so that we could show you the properties and serve you. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the emergency absence for medical reasons, which can happen to anyone. Good luck and be well.<br><br>Unfortunately, you did not accept to arrange a new appointment once the broker had returned to the island, so that we could show you the properties and serve you.

Mr. Leonis is an exceptional real-estate professional, who listens carefully to your needs and tries to find the best solutions for them. Thank you very much for serving me and my family in such a professional manner.

He had us waiting for a month, he didn't answer the phones, we lost our house, he dropped us off in the village of Mytilene because he had arranged an appointment with the person who owned the house, and in the end, no one was at our appointment, so we got off for no reason.... He arranged another appointment for us, he told us he would pick us up after a day, 7 days have passed and still nothing....

He had us waiting for a month.. I called him, he said he would pick me up, he didn't pick up. NEVER! He was just making fun of us.. He's not up for this job.. Don't get involved!!!

Good evening,<br>As mentioned, there was a problem with communication, something that we obviously did not intend and happened by mistake.<br>Your criticism is welcome (which is quite aggressive), but in no case was it our intention to mock you, since as is known, the broker is paid upon completion of the process.<br>I would prefer that your real details be listed.<br>The failure to complete this specific process, which may not have been done for many reasons, does not indicate the overall image of our broker.

Bad service with no willingness to cooperate. Unacceptable & irrelevant to the subject. Fortunately there is no 0/5 for him!
Owner Response
Good evening,<br>Our real estate agency has been operating since 1925 with successes and failures.<br>We always want our client to be satisfied and we regret that this did not happen according to your words.<br>3 years have passed, but the willingness to cooperate depends on the amount of properties we have available.<br>Your criticism is welcome, but you use particularly offensive language bordering on hate speech.<br>Perhaps a personal message or phone calls would have solved the issue
