About
Pharmacy Theodorou is a trusted local chemist serving the community of Vareia and the surrounding northern suburbs of Mytilene. As with many family-run pharmacies across the Greek islands, it offers the full range of prescription and over-the-counter medications, health and wellness products, and the kind of knowledgeable, personal service that larger urban chains rarely provide. The pharmacist can assist with minor ailments, sun care, and travel health needs — an invaluable resource for visitors who find themselves in need of remedies after long days exploring the island's coastline and archaeological sites.
For travellers based in or passing through Vareia, Pharmacy Theodorou provides reassuring peace of mind. Greek pharmacists are highly trained and accustomed to advising international visitors, often speaking enough English to bridge any language gap. Whether you need sunscreen, insect repellent, motion sickness tablets for a boat excursion, or prescription medication, this is your nearest reliable stop. Its location in Vareia, just a short distance from central Mytilene, makes it conveniently accessible for both locals and tourists staying in the area.
Before you go
What to expect
A neighbourhood pharmacy with the unhurried, attentive feel of a family-run shop — the kind of place where the pharmacist actually talks to you. Stock covers everything from prescription refills and sun-care products to motion-sickness tablets for a ferry day. English is generally spoken well enough to get you sorted without stress.
Best time to visit
Open year-round; visit early morning or just after the midday break to avoid queues in peak summer.
How to get there
Pharmacy Theodorou is in Vareia, the northern suburb of Mytilini, roughly ten minutes by car or a short bus ride from the town centre.
