About
Tucked into the village of Pyrgoi Thermis in the northeastern reaches of Lesvos, Pharmacy Antonaki Polyxeni serves as a dependable anchor for both locals and visitors exploring this quieter corner of the island. The surrounding area is best known for its thermal springs, which have drawn people seeking restorative waters for centuries, and having a trusted pharmacy nearby is a natural complement to that tradition of wellness and care.
For travelers, a local pharmacy like this one is often an underappreciated resource. Whether you need sun protection for long days on the Aegean coast, remedies for minor ailments picked up along the way, or simply reliable advice in a place where language barriers can make medical concerns stressful, a neighborhood pharmacy staffed by knowledgeable locals provides genuine peace of mind. The staff can typically help with a range of everyday health needs and are accustomed to assisting visitors passing through the region.
Pyrgoi Thermis itself sits close enough to Mytilene to be accessible while retaining the unhurried pace of a village community, and Pharmacy Antonaki Polyxeni reflects that same character — a place where service is personal and the relationship between pharmacist and customer feels human rather than transactional. If you are spending time in the thermal springs area or traveling the northeastern roads of Lesvos, it is worth knowing this pharmacy is here should you need it.
Before you go
What to expect
A small village pharmacy with a genuinely personal touch — the kind of place where the pharmacist takes time with visitors as readily as with regulars. Travelers passing through the thermal springs area find it a reassuring stop for sun care, minor ailments, or straightforward health advice without the stress of a language barrier. It operates at the same unhurried pace as Pyrgoi Thermis itself.
Best time to visit
Open year-round, though it sees more visitors from late spring through early autumn when the northeastern roads of the island are most active.
How to get there
Pyrgoi Thermis is roughly a 15–20 minute drive from Mytilene heading northeast along the coastal road. The pharmacy sits in the village itself and is easy to spot in a small community.

When you go to a pharmacy and ask them to show you or give you an injection, they don't say I didn't give the medicine, I don't know because the pharmacist doesn't give the medicine, but the doctor!!! ...the lady who has it is unacceptable and not at all professional, obviously didn't get a commission for this, she didn't help....!! The doctor is responsible and he himself told us to go to a pharmacy!!! ...close it and get busy with the fields better since you can't do your job properly because you're not a pharmacist if you don't know!!!!!
Owner Response
The medicine you asked us to administer to you by injection, as we explained to you, has an indication for hospital use at the beginning of treatment. When someone receives the medicine for the first time, the injection must be done in a medical environment so that any serious side effects can be treated immediately.<br>It is also not marketed by private pharmacies (except in the event of a shortage by the state). Patients obtain it from EOPYY pharmacies, as you did. <br>It is dangerous, irresponsible and of course illegal to give injections to patients that we cannot identify, without a medical history, without a medical prescription/opinion and with substances that we are not authorized to administer. <br>Precisely because we are scientists/health professionals, we must ensure the proper use of medicines and the protection of public health.
