Before you go
What to expect
Tables spill out onto the pavement and the bar draws an easy mix of locals wrapping up their day and visitors easing into their evening. Order something cold, find a seat facing the street, and let the pulse of Mytilini's nightlife wash over you. It's the kind of place where you arrive intending to stay for one drink and end up staying for three.
Best time to visit
Spring through autumn is the sweet spot; summer nights are warm and the street crowds fill the pavement, while the quieter shoulder months offer a more local feel.
How to get there
Sponda sits right in the heart of Mytilini city center, within easy walking distance of the harbor and the main square — no transport needed if you're already in town.

The bar is located in the center of Mytilene on a popular street with many bars and restaurants. It has both tables and stands. Although it was crowded, we found a seat pretty quickly. The music was nice and danceable so it set the mood even though it is not a dance club. Most patrons were enjoying their drinks at their tables. It mainly played Latin as there is another Latin club right next door so that was convenient because you don't hear two different genres at the same time since the place is open. Our order was requested relatively quickly and delivered relatively quickly. Most cocktails were priced at 10-12€ if I remember correctly. They looked nice. However, I would have preferred them to be a little stronger. I mean the taste of fruit, juice and no alcohol was strong. The toilets were clean and the atmosphere in the street where we sat was pleasant.

The drinks were terrible, couldn’t have a second sip. Atmosphere is nice though.
