About
The Taxi Rank Thermis-Mithimna provides an essential transport link between two of Lesvos's most visited destinations: the thermal spa village of Thermi, on the eastern coast near Mytilene, and the medieval hilltop town of Mithimna, better known as Molyvos, on the northern coast. For visitors without a rental car, this service offers a reliable and direct way to navigate the island's interior roads, which wind through olive groves and sun-drenched hillsides that define the Lesvian landscape.
Situated near Molyvos, the taxi rank serves both locals and tourists heading to or from the therapeutic hot springs at Thermi, the seaside villages along the route, and the broader northern region of the island. Taxis here are a practical choice for reaching spots that buses serve infrequently, and drivers often double as informal guides with deep knowledge of the local area. Whether you are arriving from the ferry port, heading to a remote beach, or simply making your way between the island's two coastlines, this rank is a dependable starting point for getting around with ease and a personal touch that mass transit rarely offers.
Before you go
What to expect
You step up to a small rank near the village center and within a few minutes a driver with an encyclopedic knowledge of northern Lesvos is on the road with you. Conversations tend to happen naturally — expect an unsolicited tip about a quiet cove or a taverna that does not appear on any app. It is the practical, unhurried way to cross the island without a rental car.
Best time to visit
The service runs year-round; July and August bring the most demand, so early-morning pickups are easier to secure in peak summer.
How to get there
The rank is in Molyvos, about an hour's drive from Mytilene along the northern road through Kalloni. From Mytilene you can take the KTEL bus to Molyvos and use the rank for onward or return connections.
