Mini Market Paulos
Visitors say
What lovely owners, a huge selection for such a small supermarket. I love going there when I'm on holiday in Molyvos; it's the best place to be.
Pavlos was really helpful! He took the time to go through the different options for olive oil and he wrapped what I bought very carefully to avoid spillage in the suitcase. Great service and good prices.
About
Mini Market Paulos is a neighbourhood grocery store conveniently located near Molyvos, one of Lesvos's most celebrated medieval villages. For travellers exploring the northern coast of the island, small shops like this are an essential part of the experience, stocking everyday provisions from fresh local produce and dairy to packaged goods, snacks, and cold drinks — everything needed for a self-catering stay or a picnic on the way to the beach.
Stopping at a local mini market like Paulos offers more than just supplies; it is a small window into the rhythms of daily island life. The friendly, personal service typical of family-run Greek grocery stores makes it a welcoming stop for visitors picking up essentials before heading out to nearby beaches, the castle ruins of Molyvos, or the petrified forest trails further west. Whether you need water, local olive oil, fresh bread, or a few ingredients for an evening meal, Mini Market Paulos is a practical and characterful place to pause on your Lesvos journey.
Before you go
What to expect
The shop has the feel of a proper neighbourhood grocer — shelves stocked with local olive oil, fresh bread, dairy, and cold drinks alongside everyday staples. Staff are unhurried and helpful, and the pace suits the village well. It's a practical stop before heading down to the beach or up to the castle ruins.
Best time to visit
Open through the main tourist season from spring to early autumn; mornings are quietest before the day-trippers arrive.
How to get there
Molyvos is roughly an hour's drive north from Mytilene along the coastal road; the shop is in the village itself, easy to find on foot once you arrive.

Super friendly owner will take his time to help you finding the right products. This mini market is a mix of every day items and souvenirs. You can find great products to take home like vacuum packed local cheese., locally produced olive soaps, and probably the only shop in town, where you can get the wine canisters from the time before bottled wine. Try the local yogurt from. Filia and you will never eat any other yogurt again.
