Amazing scientist and person!! He explains everything and is there to answer any questions you may have! I recommend him with my eyes closed
The best gynecologist. Always willing to serve and help. Also, apart from being an excellent doctor, he is above all an excellent person with an excellent attitude. 5/5 stars he deserves it and more!
About
Tucked away near the quiet village of Alyfada in the northern reaches of Lesvos, Salas Ioannis is the kind of family-run establishment that epitomizes authentic Greek hospitality. In a part of the island where tourism remains refreshingly unhurried and local life continues at its own gentle pace, businesses like this one serve as genuine meeting points between travelers and the community that calls this corner of Lesvos home. The surrounding landscape, with its olive groves and the distant shimmer of the Aegean, sets the tone for an experience rooted in place and tradition.
Visitors who make the effort to seek out establishments off the well-worn tourist trail in this area are typically rewarded with a more personal encounter with island life. Salas Ioannis carries the character of a local institution — the kind of place where regulars are greeted by name and where the rhythms of the surrounding village shape the pace of the day. Whether stopping in for provisions, a meal, or simply a moment of rest on a journey through the island's interior, guests tend to leave with a sense of having touched something genuine rather than curated.
Alyfada and its surroundings remain one of those pockets of Lesvos that reward slow travel and curiosity. Passing through this area on the way to the island's northern coastline or its quieter inland routes, a stop at Salas Ioannis offers more than mere convenience — it offers a window into everyday Lesbian life, far from the bustle of Mytilene or the more visited beach resorts. For travelers who measure a journey's worth by its human encounters, this is exactly the kind of stop worth making.
Before you go
What to expect
A family-run local institution in the heart of Mytilini where the atmosphere is unhurried and the welcome is genuine. Regulars and curious visitors mix naturally here, giving the place the easy rhythm of everyday island life rather than anything staged for tourists.
Best time to visit
Open year-round as a neighbourhood staple; spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather for exploring Mytilini on foot.
How to get there
Salas Ioannis sits just over a kilometre from Mytilene's central waterfront — an easy walk or a very short taxi ride from the port or town centre.

An impeccable doctor and above all a person. Always willing to answer the phone and explain everything clearly and calmly, without leaving any questions. Extremely consistent in appointments, without delays, which shows respect for the patient's time. He inspires trust and professionalism. I highly recommend him.

One review is not enough to accurately describe a scientist. He is an excellent doctor and person. Accessible and present when I need him immediately! He is a man who listens carefully to the patient, respects and loves what he does, remembers details about my health better than I do. Clean environment and comfortable in everything!

Mr. Salas is a highly qualified and informed scientist. Above all, however, he is a man with a capital A, with ethics and respect not only for women but also for the nature of motherhood. Truly the best that the female population of Mytilene and beyond could have. I wish he would take care of me during my next pregnancy!

An excellent professional! His space is spotlessly clean and meticulous down to the last detail, which immediately inspired confidence in me. But beyond his medical training, what stands out is his humane approach to the patient!

Excellent doctor!! He is very explanatory and helpful. Above all, he helps you feel comfortable during any examination after first explaining to you exactly what will happen. He is also very friendly and a very good person who respects both his profession and his client. I highly recommend him!

One of my friend recommended this doctor and she was right. The doctor is really polite and helpful. He answered all my questions and worries. He explained me all the details about all the test that I was gonna do. He speaks good English so I didn’t have any problems to communicate with him. Highly recommend!
