About
Getting around Lesvos is one of the great pleasures of exploring the island, and a reliable local taxi service is often the most rewarding way to do it. Based near the charming seaside village of Petra on the island's north coast, Lesvos Taxi Service connects visitors to the full breadth of what this extraordinary island has to offer — from the thermal springs of Eftalou and the sweep of Anaxos beach to the distant olive groves and medieval villages of the interior. Unlike a rental car, a local taxi puts you in the company of a driver who knows the island intimately, able to suggest the quiet taverna down the unmarked lane or point out the ancient olive tree that locals swear is among the oldest in the Aegean.
For visitors staying in the Petra and Molyvos area, a trusted taxi service fills a genuine need. The island's public bus network, while functional, runs on limited schedules that don't always align with early-morning ferry crossings, late dinners, or spontaneous detours to a pebbly cove. Whether you need a transfer from Mytilene airport, a day trip to the petrified forest at Sigri, or simply a comfortable ride back from an evening out in the village, having a local number to call makes the difference between a trip that flows easily and one spent waiting at a roadside. Visitors who rely on this kind of personal, unhurried service often find it becomes one of the unsung highlights of their Lesvos stay.
Before you go
What to expect
Booking a ride with a local taxi in the Petra area means settling into the passenger seat while someone who actually knows the island handles the driving. Drivers often double as informal guides, pointing out spots that don't appear on any map — a spring-fed fountain, a viewpoint above an olive grove, the best hour to arrive somewhere. It is a slower, more conversational way to move around than a rental car, and many visitors find they prefer it.
Best time to visit
Useful year-round, but most in demand during the busy summer months of July and August when parking is scarce and evening taverna visits in Molyvos make a return ride very welcome.
How to get there
The service is based near Petra on the north coast, roughly an hour's drive from Mytilene along the main coastal road. For airport pickups or cross-island transfers, advance booking is strongly recommended.

We have always used Lesvos Taxis for airport transfers to Molyvos. They arrive on time and make the journey easy and relaxing. This year we had extra need of their services when I fell on a footpath near Petra and hurt my wrist. The hotel booked the taxi to the Health Centre at Kalloni and said that my driver would wait to bring me home. When the medics there said I needed to go to the hospital in Mytilene, he didn’t hesitate to take me the extra distance and when we arrived he acted as my translator, navigated the red tape, got me seen quickly and even bought bottles of water for me and my husband. I honestly don’t know how I would have coped without him then, or when I went back 2 days later to be admitted for surgery. Always with a smile, nothing too much trouble. And this at a fixed price with time no object. Due to a misunderstanding I didn’t get my drivers name, but I can’t thank him or the boss, Christos, enough for all their help and support.

We have been holidaying on Lesvos for 20 years and have used Lesvos Taxi Service for many of those years, for both Airport Transfers and local trips on the island. We have never experienced anything but a first class service, always on time, friendly drivers and spotless cars. Theo and Astrid have always been most helpful and dead friendly. We are booking our transfers with them again this year as usual, and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Lesvos. You won't be disappointed.!

Amazing service and highly recommend Lesvos Taxi Service !! We were lucky enough to do a day trip to Lesvos last year and we had a lot we wanted to see in one day. I googled a taxi service and was lucky enough to find the best service by accident. I had great email communication from Theo and Astrid in order to plan the day and I am thrilled with their service. There was no way we would have been able to see so much in one day without Theo’s amazing driving and knowledge. Theo also made it such a fun day for us, so much so that we can’t wait to go back to Lesvos again ! It honestly felt like we were spending the day with friends who were going out of their way to make our day enjoyable and our memories unforgettable. For excellent communication and great service you should use Lesvos Taxi Service. Make sure you stay longer than a day (there is soooo much to see) and let Astrid and Theo help you plan your trip as their knowledge of the island is second to none ! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you both for an amazing day and look forward to seeing you again soon ! Stacey and family xx

I visited Molyvos from Mitilini with Theo and Astrid. It was a wonderful afternoon driving through more and more progressively beautiful scenery - from mountains, to olive tree valleys, picturesque towns and the coast. Pick up was punctual, and the car was very clean and comfortable. Price was fair for distance travelled. It was very interesting to speak with both Theo and Astrid. They are knowledgeable about the island, the country, culture and everything you need to know. And, they are flexible on giving you time to explore. I would definitely recommend a ride with them if you are visiting this beautiful island.
