Excellent! I cannot recommend this office enough. They are kind, professional, and extremely easy to communicate with. My entire family has used their services and we have all had wonderful experiences.
About
Tucked into the quiet countryside near the village of Alyfada, Papoutsi Varvara Ododiatreio offers walkers and nature lovers a chance to explore some of the lesser-trodden landscapes of eastern Lesvos. The name itself carries a distinctly local character, the kind of place that has earned its identity through generations of villagers who know every path and rocky outcrop by heart. Ododiatreio routes on Lesvos are part of a broader tradition of waymarked trails that wind through the island's diverse terrain, connecting olive groves, ancient stone walls, and views stretching toward the Aegean and the distant silhouette of the Turkish coast.
Visitors who stop here can expect the kind of unhurried, authentic Lesbian countryside experience that organised tourism rarely delivers. The landscape around Alyfada is shaped by centuries of agriculture and pastoral life, and a walk along this route reveals dry-stone terracing, wild herbs scenting the air, and the particular stillness that settles over the island's interior in the late afternoon. Whether you are an avid hiker or simply someone who wants to step off the main road and feel the island beneath your feet, this is a rewarding detour.
Lesvos has long attracted travellers with an interest in natural beauty and cultural depth, and routes like Papoutsi Varvara are part of what makes the island memorable beyond its famous beaches and petrified forest. Arriving with good walking shoes, a little water, and a willingness to slow down is all the preparation needed to appreciate what this corner of Lesvos has quietly held for so long.
Before you go
What to expect
The trail threads through terraced olive land and past ancient dry-stone walls, with wild thyme and sage underfoot and views opening toward the Turkish coastline. It rewards those who walk slowly and stop often — the pleasure is in the details rather than the distance covered. Mornings bring birdsong and cool air; late afternoons settle into a deep stillness broken only by the wind.
Best time to visit
April to June and September to October offer the best walking conditions — midsummer heat makes midday hiking uncomfortable.
How to get there
The route is a short drive from Mytilene toward the Alyfada area on the island's eastern side, no more than about fifteen minutes from the town centre.

Not only do I highly recommend her... but I also rank her in a higher category than even the best dental clinics I have visited in Munich, Germany.!! For her smile, knowledge, patience and humanity...100/10.!

Initially, she was 1.5 hours late from our appointment time. I went to get 2 fillings which cost me 100€ each. Unjustified price for the service provided. I will definitely not use her again, and I would recommend the same to you.

Always polite, impeccable in her work and with a smile. She explains everything to her patient and has a magical way of relaxing you and making you feel confident. In a few words, a great scientist & person. Very clean and beautiful space and together with her assistant Aphrodite they make a perfect team and change the image we all have of visiting the dentist. Many bravos!

Varvara is an excellent scientist, with deep knowledge in her field, with love for her work and people. She is professional and at the same time, lovable, and very sweet, she explains the steps she follows, and creates a feeling of trust and security in you! Working with her is pleasant, and has nothing to do with the stereotypical visit to the dentist! Of course, Aphrodite, Varvara's assistant, is also very sweet and helpful!

She is excellent at her job. She tells me what to do and then I decide, which is something you appreciate because the previous dentist I went to did whatever she wanted without telling me what she was doing and as a result I ruined a good tooth and luckily I found Barbara and she fixed it for me and since then I only go to her because I know her work is worth it. They are both very pleasant girls, you feel comfortable with them😊
