Sappho studios \& car rentals
Visitors say
Everything was perfect during our stay. Maria was very helpful, very friendly. She supported us in everything. The rooms are very clean. We also rented our car from here. We had no problems at all. Thanks for everything. Maria thank you also :)
I think it was the best accommodation I've had in 50 vacations at the beach. The place is extremely clean. The host is very welcoming. He speaks English very well. Large parking lot. Dreamlike
About
Tucked near the charming village of Vareia, just a short drive south of Mytilini town, Sappho Studios and Car Rentals offers travelers a convenient and comfortable base from which to explore the full breadth of Lesvos. Named after the island's most celebrated daughter, the ancient lyric poet Sappho who is said to have connections to this very corner of Lesvos, the business captures something of the island's proud cultural identity while meeting the practical needs of modern visitors.
The combination of studio accommodation and car rental under one roof makes this an especially practical choice for independent travelers. Arriving guests can settle into their rooms and immediately arrange wheels for the days ahead, without the hassle of coordinating between separate providers. This matters on Lesvos more than most Greek islands — the island is large, diverse, and richly rewarding to explore at your own pace, from the petrified forest in the west to the thermal springs of Polichnitos and the picturesque villages of the Plomari region.
Vareia itself is a quiet, residential suburb of Mytilini with easy access to the island capital's waterfront, tavernas, and ferry connections, making Sappho Studios well positioned for both day-trippers into town and those setting out to discover wilder corners of the island. Visitors who value flexibility and a homey atmosphere over large resort amenities will find this kind of locally run, dual-purpose establishment a genuinely useful anchor for their Lesvos adventure.
Before you go
What to expect
Checking in and collecting your rental car in the same stop is genuinely liberating on an island this size — you unpack once and by evening you can already be plotting which corner of Lesvos to reach first. The studios sit in Vareia's low-key residential streets, quiet enough for a good night's sleep while Mytilini's port tavernas and waterfront are only minutes away.
Best time to visit
April through October suits the accommodation and rental season best; summer weekends fill up quickly, so booking ahead is wise.
How to get there
Vareia is roughly 3.5 km south of central Mytilene — about a 10-minute drive or short taxi ride from the port or airport.

We had an amazing time. The rooms are very clean and modern. Stratos (our host) also helped us a lot with picking all the best places to visit on Lesbos (he was never wrong). I would recommend everyone that visits Lesbos to book a studio at Sappho studios.

Clean rooms, comfortable and nicely organised with a kind and helpful owner. Relaxing in the front yard at night with some food was very relaxing. Highly recommended.

Been there three times already and I definitely recommend it. Clean, cozy and well arranged rooms for travelers of any kind. Friendly and polite staff who proved to be really helpful in various occasions. With enough free space on their parking, we were carefree of leaving our vehicles in a safe lot. Once a year there are external or internal renovation, in different parts of their facility so each time I've been there, there was something new added to the already nice quality of their services and neat rooms. That being said, there has been no disturbance in our accomodation except of the nature sounds. The sea is in walking distance and there are few cafeterias nearby as well as a surprisingly complete mini market.
