About
Souper Market Ariadni is a local supermarket serving the village of Vareia and the surrounding northern outskirts of Mytilini, offering visitors and residents alike a convenient stop for everyday essentials. Whether you are stocking up a holiday apartment, preparing a picnic to take to the nearby coast, or simply grabbing a cold drink on a warm Aegean afternoon, this neighbourhood market provides the kind of no-fuss, practical service that makes settling into island life so much easier.
For travellers exploring the area around Vareia, a village known for its proximity to the Theophilos Museum and the Teriade Museum, a stop at Ariadni is a natural part of the day. Local supermarkets in the Lesvos countryside tend to carry a pleasing mix of imported goods alongside regional products, and it is worth browsing the shelves for Lesvian olive oil, local cheeses, ouzo from the island's celebrated distilleries, and freshly baked bread. The friendly, community-oriented atmosphere typical of such shops gives visitors a genuine taste of everyday Greek island life, far from the more tourist-oriented shops of the harbour.
Before you go
What to expect
Shelves here combine everyday staples with local finds — Lesvian olive oil, island-made ouzo, and fresh bread sit alongside household essentials. The pace is unhurried and the atmosphere genuinely neighbourly, a contrast to the more tourist-facing shops closer to the harbour.
Best time to visit
Open year-round; most useful in summer for self-catering visitors or anyone assembling a picnic before heading to the nearby coast.
How to get there
Located in the Vareia district, roughly a 10-minute drive north of Mytilene centre, on the same road that passes the Theophilos and Teriade museums.

Good store. They help you with the bags, unlike most (small and large) supermarkets, and they also give you gifts if you exceed a certain order amount.

I never happened to go near it. I had ordered a few things online. Cucumbers cost 1.35€ each while at LIDL they cost 46 cents.. after all, I ordered because I had to. When the cucumbers arrived, they were small and a little ripe... poor quality.. at LIDL I got them cheaper and much better quality. IN THE MEANWHILE the delivery was delayed AN HOUR AND A HALF I called them to ask and the answer was: Well, it's coming, go get other orders first.. otherwise it was good although very expensive I didn't order many 15 euro things. I wouldn't buy from there again....

Thank you very much for your review!<br>The prices of a store are based on the service they offer and their expenses. As far as I know, Lidl does not deliver with a minimum of €7 every day, including Sundays and holidays from 8 am to 11 pm...<br>Our grocery store is largely local and is checked as much as possible, several times during the day. Obviously, it is a mistake on the part of the employee who did not give you the best we can offer!<br>The distributor's delay is likely due to the fact that in addition to orders, all store employees also have service in the physical store. Especially if you ordered on Sunday, the service of orders is delayed due to a large volume of work. In any case, fagi.gr gives us the opportunity to inform you of the possible delivery time through its application. In any case, orders are served on a priority basis.<br>We look forward to the future and would love to see you back on our order list!<br><br>Best regards,<br>Panagiotis Kolyfas<br>Owner of Ariadni Supermarket
