Studios KANONI
Visitors say
Excellent service and warm hospitality. I highly recommend it and we will definitely choose it again for our next trip.
My experience was very beautiful!! Very clean room and close to the sea. Also very positive is the fact that it is very close to the center of Mytilene.
About
Tucked into the gentle landscape near Pyrgoi Thermis, Studios KANONI offers self-catering accommodation in one of northeastern Lesvos's most quietly captivating corners. Pyrgoi Thermis, whose name evokes both its ancient thermal springs and the distinctive stone towers that once marked the estates of wealthy Ottoman-era families, provides a deeply authentic setting just a short drive from the island's capital, Mytilene. Staying here means waking up to the rhythms of rural Lesvos, with olive groves and the azure shimmer of the Aegean never far from view.
The studios provide the independence and comfort that independent travellers value, with self-contained facilities that make them well suited to those looking to explore the island at their own pace. The surrounding area rewards curiosity: the thermal baths of Thermi have drawn visitors seeking their reputed restorative waters for centuries, while the village itself retains a lived-in, unhurried character that larger resort towns can rarely match. Local tavernas serve fresh seafood and traditional mezedes, and the roads leading out from Pyrgoi Thermis wind toward secluded coves, hillside monasteries, and the petrified forest to the west.
For visitors who want to experience Lesvos beyond the postcard highlights, Studios KANONI serves as a practical and peaceful base. Its proximity to Mytilene means cultural attractions, ferry connections, and the island's vibrant food scene are all easily accessible, while the quieter pace of Pyrgoi Thermis ensures that evenings are genuinely restful. It is the kind of place that suits those who come to Lesvos not just to pass through, but to linger.
Before you go
What to expect
The studios put you in a village that moves at a genuinely unhurried pace — you can walk to the thermal baths at Thermi, browse the small square, and be back in your own kitchen before noon. Mornings bring the scent of olive trees and pine resin rather than pool-bar music. Self-catering here means picking up tomatoes and local olives and eating on your own terrace with a view toward the bay.
Best time to visit
May through June and September offer warm weather and manageable crowds; July and August are hotter and busier across the whole island.
How to get there
Pyrgoi Thermis is roughly a 15-minute drive northeast of Mytilene along the coastal road toward Thermi. Renting a car or scooter from the capital makes the drive straightforward and opens up day trips across the island.

Our stay at this accommodation was unfortunately not up to our expectations. The rooms hadn’t been cleaned at all. We noticed cobwebs in the corners and outdated furniture. Additionally, we had to clean the room ourselves and change our own sheets, which was quite disappointing. The mattresses were particularly uncomfortable—you could feel the springs when you laid down, making it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Although we booked a four-bed room for 80 euros, we ended up not using the extra beds because of this issue. It’s also worth mentioning that the hotel appears to collaborate with tourism vouchers, which makes it even more important to provide a decent level of service to all guests, regardless of what they pay. Everyone deserves a pleasant and comfortable stay. I hope the management takes these points into consideration for future improvements

First of all, thank you for your "kind-hearted" review! Of course, you are the same person as E.T. who gave us 1 star again (by the way, one review was enough, we understand that you are unhappy, there is no need to lower our average rating!)<br>The company's policy is not to clean the rooms while someone is staying in them, for safety reasons, whenever you knew what you were dealing with. Secondly, if we missed any spiders, these can happen because we are in the countryside! The price and amenities are in line with what the accommodation offers (after all, you also seemed to be looking for something economical, otherwise you would have gone to a hotel with more amenities) and you know from the beginning what these are... The rooms are simple but clean and their main advantage is the tranquility and easy access to the sea. In the case of social tourism, beneficiaries have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of hotels and accommodations, so there is no question of dignity or comfort... If you wanted to leave earlier, you should have done so from the beginning and not said so on the day you left. We were unable to accommodate someone else who wanted to stay. It would have been more ethical of you...<br>We wish you a good continuation of your vacation...

Very beautiful and well-kept space!!! The rooms are clean and equipped. The owners are above all people and very friendly!! It is located in a very good location, to be right next to the sea, but also close for your evening walks to the most central places. Well done on everything!! Ms. Maria, thank you very much!!

Worst. No cleaning at all. They never came to clean in the 8 days we stayed. Because we went with social tourism, they waited before we even took out the suitcases and papers, then we understood why. The playground they told us about was non-existent. The rooms were abandoned with humidity. I would never go there again. Bad service in general.

The rooms are not cleaned while someone is staying inside for security reasons, something you are aware of from the beginning. No issues have ever arisen with social tourism. As for the amenities, they are commensurate with the price given for the rooms.<br>Thank you for your review.
