Visitors say
Absolutely great service. Very communicative and approachable staff, the car was delivered to our hotel and picked up from there. The cars are in great condition.
I wholeheartedly recommend this car rental company. Easy contact with the owner, good communication, new and comfortable car, and reasonable prices. I recommend it and send my best regards to the owner again 😃
About
Mare Amo Tours and Rent a Car is a local travel services provider based in Skala Kalloni, the bustling fishing village on the shores of the Kalloni Gulf in central Lesvos. Positioned in one of the island's most strategically central locations, the business offers visitors the freedom to explore Lesvos at their own pace, whether that means heading north toward the petrified forest and the village of Sigri, east toward the capital Mytilene, or south along the scenic coastal roads that hug the Aegean shoreline.
For travellers arriving in the Kalloni area, having reliable local transport can make all the difference. Skala Kalloni itself is a gateway to some of the island's most rewarding experiences, including the famous Kalloni saltpans, a internationally recognised birdwatching destination that draws ornithologists from across Europe each spring. With a hire car from Mare Amo, visitors can venture into the olive-covered hillside villages of the interior, discover hidden coves and beaches, or make spontaneous stops at roadside tavernas that rarely appear in guidebooks.
Beyond vehicle hire, the tours side of the business connects visitors with guided experiences that bring the landscape and culture of Lesvos to life. For those unfamiliar with the island's winding rural roads and unmarked attractions, a local operator with genuine knowledge of the terrain is an invaluable companion. Whether you are a first-time visitor eager to cover the island's highlights or a returning guest seeking something off the beaten path, Mare Amo offers a personal and practical starting point for your Lesvos adventure.
Before you go
What to expect
Stepping into this central Lesvos operation, you quickly sense it's run by people who genuinely know the island's back roads. Whether you need a car for the week or a guided outing to the Kalloni saltpans, the team steers you toward experiences that match your pace rather than just handing over keys. It's the kind of local outfit that turns a vague plan into a proper itinerary.
Best time to visit
Spring — particularly April and May — is the sweet spot: the saltpans draw migratory birds in extraordinary numbers and the island roads are uncrowded before summer traffic builds.
How to get there
Skala Kalloni is about 45 minutes west of Mytilene along the main cross-island road; Mare Amo is in the village itself, so you can pick up a car and head straight into the island's interior or coast.

I got a taxi ride from George today from Vatera to Petra. I couldn’t believe how quickly the time passed. George played great music and told me about some important landmarks as we passed them. A very enjoyable and professional service was given. He even went on to give me advice about a cheaper way to reach my next destination. Thank you for going the extra mile!

We really enjoyed our experience. George was very helpful and understanding. The car we rented was a Dacia, it was in a good condition, clean, and comfortable. We certainly will rent again.

George was very good to work with on setting up the rental and meeting for pickup. We were very pleased with the Yaris. George rents better, larger cars at competitive prices to the supermini cars from other companies, and very reasonable excess insurance policies. We were happy to have chosen Mare Amo for our weeks' holiday in Lesvos.

I was given a car with just over 300 km on the clock. Very friendly, punctual and approachable. Ask for George. You can't go wrong.
