Taxi kallonis- Θέμης Σταματέλλης
Visitors say
Amazing service! More than adequate. The best service I have ever encountered in a taxi. I live in Athens and we were served for routes Kalloni - Parakoila. Impeccable professionalism.
Particularly attentive taxi driver. And a very nice and witty man. Speaks good English. You won't get ripped off, and the same goes for his mates with whom he forms a taxi team. They also rent out cars. Highly recommended!
About
Getting around Lesvos is an essential part of any visit, and having a reliable local taxi service can make all the difference between a frustrating journey and a seamless adventure. Themis Stamatellis operates a taxi service out of Kalloni, the bustling market town that sits at the heart of the island, making it an ideal base for reaching destinations across the western and central regions of Lesvos. Whether you are heading to the famous salt flats and lagoon of Kalloni Bay, the traditional villages of the surrounding hills, or the medieval monastery of Limonos just a short drive away, a knowledgeable local driver removes the stress of navigating unfamiliar roads.
Kalloni's central position on the island means a taxi based here can connect visitors to a remarkable range of experiences. To the west lie the petrified forest trails of Sigri, the scenic village of Skala Eresou on the south coast, and the birdwatching paradise of the Kalloni Gulf, which draws ornithologists from across Europe each spring. To the east, the road winds toward Mytilene through olive groves and villages that have changed little in generations. For travelers without a rental car, or those who simply prefer the ease and local insight that comes with a seasoned driver, Themis Stamatellis offers a personal and practical way to explore Lesvos on your own terms.
Before you go
What to expect
Booking with Themis means you get a driver who genuinely knows the back roads, the seasonal closures, and which mountain village is worth the detour that day. He operates out of Kalloni, so pick-ups and drop-offs across the western and central parts of the island are quick without the long repositioning run from Mytilene. Expect a relaxed, personal ride rather than a metered urban experience.
Best time to visit
The service runs year-round; spring (April–May) is especially in demand when birdwatchers descend on the Kalloni Gulf, so book ahead if your trip coincides.
How to get there
Kalloni is roughly 40–45 minutes from Mytilene along the main cross-island road. Contact Themis directly to arrange a pick-up from your hotel or port — he can also collect you from Mytilene if needed.

Themis is the most fantastic taxi driver ever! He is so polite, professional, drives excellently and is super friendly also.Been an absolute pleasure to meet him, we will not hesitate recommending this gentleman enough, he is quality! We even met his wife and family too, a special guy who we hope to see again on future trips to this beautiful island.Thank you Themis, there should be a 10star rating as you go above and beyond any taxi service we have ever encountered. Sincere thanks my friend.
