Makis Rentals
Visitors say
Everything worked perfectly with this car rental. They were always reachable, very helpful and it was no problem to extend the rental at short notice. The price was fair as well. Highly recommended!
Great service and no hidden fees like other rental companies. The lady that worked there was very sweet, and even gave us a lift to our hotel from where we delivered the car after use! A well deserved 5-stars from me 😊👍
About
Nestled in the sun-drenched southern reaches of Lesvos, Makis Rentals offers visitors a convenient and friendly base from which to explore one of the island's most characterful corners. Located near Plomari, the self-proclaimed ouzo capital of Greece and a town steeped in maritime heritage, the business provides rental services that give independent travellers the freedom to discover the surrounding landscape at their own pace. Whether you are chasing the turquoise coves of the south coast, winding through olive groves toward Byzantine villages, or simply seeking the flexibility to arrive at a quiet beach before the crowds, having wheels at your disposal transforms the Lesvos experience entirely.
What sets a local operation like Makis Rentals apart from larger chains is the personal, unhurried service that defines Greek hospitality at its best. Staff with genuine knowledge of the area can point you toward hidden swimming spots, recommend the right mountain road for sunset views, or advise on the quieter routes between Plomari and the island's interior. Plomari itself rewards slow exploration — its neoclassical seafront, working ouzo distilleries, and waterfront tavernas are all within easy reach — and having a reliable rental gives you the confidence to venture further afield without depending on infrequent bus connections.
For visitors basing themselves in the southern part of Lesvos, stopping by Makis Rentals is a practical first move that pays dividends throughout the trip. The surrounding region encompasses pebbly beaches at Agios Isidoros, the thermal springs at Polichnitos, and the dramatic volcanic landscape toward the Petrified Forest — all destinations that reward the traveller who can set their own timetable. In a part of the island where the roads are quiet and the scenery is spectacular, a good local rental is less a convenience and more an essential companion.
Before you go
What to expect
A compact, family-run rental office where the staff know every back road and quiet cove in the southern corner of the island. You collect your keys, pick up a few genuine local tips, and suddenly the entire south coast — pebbly beaches, ouzo distilleries, mountain switchbacks — becomes yours to explore on your own timetable. The atmosphere is unhurried and personal, a far cry from an anonymous airport desk.
Best time to visit
May through October covers the full south-coast season; July and August bring the most heat and the liveliest crowds along Plomari's waterfront.
How to get there
From Mytilene, follow the southern road toward Plomari through rolling olive groves — the drive takes roughly 35 to 45 minutes. Plomari is well signposted, and the rental is within the town itself.

Makis, his daughter and son, run the best car rental in Plomari! I have used them many times over the years. They are not fussy or meticulous about their cars, not looking for small scratches and so on. They bring to your hotel and and you drop it off the same place. Nice, service-minded and english spoken!

I would like to recommend Makis Rental/Plomari for being very, very polite and helpful and easy to communicate with. They answered my question on renting a motorbike very fast and correct and after having decided when and where I was on the bike right after and the return of the bike was also smooth and easy. I was even picked up and left back at the hotel... what á service. So i recommend them for anybody being in the are and wanting to get around. My best regards to Eirini.

I highly recommend this car rental service – the staff was friendly and efficient, and they delivered the car to us the same day, which allowed my girlfriend and me to start exploring Lesvos sooner. We will definitely use their services again.

Very helpul and solution provider. I rented 50 cc scooter but with a little price difference, he offered me a 125 cc scooter. Lesvos is a big island and if you intented to drive long distances, I recomend 125 cc and Makis rentals. Another pros is that they delivered the scooter just 20 meters after the customs. Dont hesitate to rent

We rented a Yamaha X-MAX 250 for our 3-day visit. The staff were extremely helpful and understanding. We had zero problems and even received some extra help with the pricing. The bike was in good condition, but the only downside for this specific motorcycle was the lack of a backrest for the secondary passenger. Other than that, I would definitely recommend it!

Rented a brand new Honda CBR 500X motorcycle for a week. Competitive price, nice staff members. And above all, service minded and zero hustle. If I come back to Lesvos I will rent from Makis again

I would recommend this car rental company to all my favorite people! I was able to experience an unforgettably beautiful week with a very cute small car! Thanks a million to Panos and his sister! Super team, great car, excellent and reliable service, very good value for money. You are in good hands even if there are problems.
