My market
About
My market is a convenient local supermarket serving the village of Alyfada and the surrounding area on the eastern side of Lesvos. For visitors staying in this quieter part of the island, away from the bustle of Mytilene or the tourist hubs of the north, a well-stocked neighbourhood market like this one is an essential stop for picking up fresh provisions, cold drinks, and everyday supplies.
Browsing a Greek supermarket is itself a small pleasure for travellers curious about local life. Shelves stocked with regional olive oils, local cheeses, ouzo from Lesvos distilleries, and seasonal produce give a genuine sense of the island's food culture in a way that larger chains rarely do. Whether you are self-catering in a nearby villa, packing a picnic for a beach day, or simply topping up on water and snacks before exploring the olive groves and coastline of this part of the island, My market offers the practicality that makes a stay in a quieter village feel relaxed and easy.
Before you go
What to expect
A compact neighbourhood market stocked with Lesvos-produced olive oil, local cheeses, and island ouzo alongside everyday staples. The pace is unhurried and personal — closer to a village shop than a supermarket chain, and a good place to put together a picnic or top up provisions before heading out to the coast.
Best time to visit
Open year-round; most useful in summer when self-catering accommodation on the east side fills up and beach days call for cold drinks and quick supplies.
How to get there
Located in central Mytilene, so it is easily reached on foot from the harbour or the main squares within a few minutes.
