PEFKA ROOMS
Visitors say
Beautiful place. Very nice location, very kind people, but there were no sockets near the beds, there was not always hot water - it ran out and unfortunately the toilet didn't work.
We stayed for a week as two people, 6 nights and 7 days. The price performance is excellent. The owner of the apartment, Mr. Dimitri, was a very friendly person. I would like to thank him very much. If I go to Lesbos again, I will definitely stay there.
About
Pefka Rooms offers a welcoming base for travelers exploring the quieter, less-touristed reaches of Lesvos, situated near the small village of Pligoni in the island's interior. The name itself, Pefka, meaning pine trees in Greek, hints at the verdant, resinous landscape that surrounds this part of the island, where the pace of life slows and the scenery shifts from coastline to gentle hills dotted with olive groves and Mediterranean scrub.
Guests staying here are well-placed to discover the authentic rhythms of rural Lesvos, far from the busier resorts. The surrounding area rewards those who enjoy wandering through traditional villages, stopping at local kafeneions, and seeking out the island's lesser-known natural beauty. With Lesvos being one of the largest islands in the Aegean, having a comfortable and unpretentious place to rest makes all the difference when covering ground at your own pace.
For visitors who want to experience Lesvos beyond its famous petrified forest or the busy harbor of Mytilene, Pefka Rooms provides exactly the kind of simple, genuine hospitality that has long defined Greek island travel. It suits independent travelers, birdwatchers drawn to the region's rich migratory bird populations, and anyone seeking a quieter alternative to the more commercial tourist centers of the island.
Before you go
What to expect
Staying at Pefka Rooms puts you in the pine-scented hills east of Mytilene, close enough to the capital for day trips but far enough to feel the unhurried pace of rural Lesvos. The area around Pligoni rewards slow mornings — walks through olive groves, stops at village kafeneions where time moves differently. Birdwatchers find this corner of the island especially rewarding during the spring migration season.
Best time to visit
Late spring through early autumn is most pleasant; April and May draw birdwatchers during peak migration, while July and August bring real heat.
How to get there
Pefka Rooms sits just a few kilometres from Mytilene — a short drive inland from the capital brings you to Pligoni and the surrounding pine hills, making it one of the easiest rural escapes on the island.

Independent houses with verandas and courtyards! Right in front, ample parking... spacious inside with new furniture, kitchenette and nice bathroom! In a good location next to the airport and the planes pass right above you... clean, very helpful lady and her son who manage them and at reasonable prices!

Nice welcome. Near the sea, far from the city. Not many buses running so taxi is your way of getting around if you don't have a car or something. Quite ok clean with some shortcomings. Not an accommodation for those who dislike extremely hard beds! The bed is my biggest minus for this accommodation as the whole night was a torment.

I found the price on online booking sites, then called Dimitri and got a discount. Dimitri is a very nice person, and the place is quiet and rural, located between the airport and the center of Mytilene. There's also a beach nearby, served by a public bus. I loved the place and will definitely return when I go back to Mytilene.

Excellent environment. Trees and tranquility everywhere. Comfortable parking space. Very cooperative and helpful owner. The furniture in the rooms and the frames need a renovation for the benefit of everyone.

Nice small apartments for renting. Excellent for the summer period. Not recommended for the cold months of the year. You may need a car for city center. The beach is a 5 minute walk though.
