Villa Poseidon
Visitors say
Excellent choice for accommodation in Skala Eresos. The apartment we had was very well maintained with two large rooms and a kitchenette in one of them with adequate equipment. Personally I would have liked the double bed to be a little bigger.
Very nice rooms for families. With two single beds and a double in a separate room. Clean with all the necessities, close to the beach and 10' walk from the center.
About
Villa Poseidon is a villa-style hotel retreat situated near the quiet village of Chliara in the eastern reaches of Lesvos. Drawing its name from the ancient Greek god of the sea, the property reflects the island's deep connection to the Aegean, offering guests an intimate base from which to explore the surrounding landscapes of olive groves, traditional villages, and coastline. Villa accommodations on Lesvos typically blend the warmth of Greek hospitality with private, home-like amenities — spacious rooms or suites, outdoor terraces, and a tranquility that larger resort hotels rarely match.
Staying at Villa Poseidon places visitors within reach of Lesvos's lesser-travelled eastern interior, where the pace of life slows and the authentic rhythms of island living remain intact. Whether used as a peaceful base for day trips to the island's beaches, the petrified forest of the west, or the historic town of Mytilene to the south, or simply enjoyed as a destination in itself, this kind of villa property suits travellers who prefer character and calm over crowds. The combination of a mythological name, a setting among Lesvos's storied olive-draped hills, and proximity to the Aegean makes Villa Poseidon an appealing choice for those seeking a grounded, unhurried experience of the island.
Before you go
What to expect
Villa Poseidon has the feel of a private hillside retreat rather than a hotel — olive groves press close, the terrace looks out over a landscape that hasn't changed much in decades, and the pace is entirely your own. Guests tend to use it as a quiet anchor for day trips rather than a place to be entertained.
Best time to visit
May, June, and September hit the sweet spot — warm enough for the coast, calm enough to avoid the August crowds.
How to get there
From Mytilene, plan on roughly 60 to 75 minutes driving west through the olive-covered interior toward the Chliara area; the road is scenic but winding.

The location is good compared to other accommodations in the area, and it's easily accessible. The beach, cafes, and markets are a 5-minute walk away. You can swim during the day, return in the evening, and get ready to go again. The hotel and rooms are very clean and well-maintained. The owners are friendly and helpful.
