About
Masoutis is a well-established Greek supermarket chain with a presence across northern Greece, and this branch near the village of Vareia offers visitors a convenient and well-stocked stop just a short drive from Mytilene. Whether you are self-catering in a holiday villa, stocking up for a beach day, or simply looking for local staples, the store carries a solid range of fresh produce, dairy, meats, packaged goods, and household essentials. You will also find Greek pantry items that make excellent take-home souvenirs, including local olive oil, olives, honey, and regional cheeses.
For travellers exploring the area around Mytilene and the southern Gulf of Gera, this supermarket serves as a practical anchor point. Vareia itself sits on the coastal road just north of the island's capital, making this an easy detour without venturing far off the main route. The store offers a familiar, no-fuss shopping experience with competitive prices, and the staff are generally accustomed to tourists passing through. If you are heading out for a longer drive around the island and want to prepare a picnic or load up on supplies before reaching more remote villages, this is a reliable place to do it.
Before you go
What to expect
A no-frills but well-stocked Greek supermarket where the local-products aisle rewards a slow browse — bottles of Lesvos olive oil, jars of island honey, and regional cheeses sit alongside the everyday groceries. It's a practical stopping point rather than a destination, but the staff are accustomed to tourists and the checkout moves efficiently. Good place to assemble a car-picnic before heading into the island's interior or down to a beach.
Best time to visit
Open year-round; weekday mornings are quietest, while summer afternoons tend to be busier with holiday visitors stocking up.
How to get there
Vareia sits on the coastal road running north from Mytilene — roughly a 10-minute drive from the town centre, making it an easy first or last stop on a day out.
