University
About
The University bus stop serves the area near Vareia, a quiet coastal suburb situated just south of Mytilene along the eastern shore of Lesvos. This stop provides a convenient transit point for visitors and students traveling between central Mytilene and the University of the Aegean campus, which has a significant presence on the island and contributes to Lesvos's reputation as a center of learning and culture in the northeastern Aegean.
Local KTEL buses connect this stop to Mytilene's main bus terminal, making it a practical waypoint for travelers exploring the southern outskirts of the island's capital. The coastal road running through Vareia offers pleasant views of the Gulf of Gera, and the area is within easy reach of several beaches, waterfront tavernas, and the historic olive groves that define this part of Lesvos. Visitors heading toward the petrified forest, the south of the island, or simply looking to reach university-area accommodations will find this stop a useful landmark on their journey.
Before you go
What to expect
A roadside bus stop on the coastal road through Vareia, with views across the Gulf of Gera. It functions as a practical interchange rather than a destination — students, locals, and southbound travelers waiting for the next KTEL bus, with olive groves and a few waterfront tavernas within easy walking distance.
Best time to visit
The stop is useful year-round; spring through early autumn is when most visitors pass through en route to southern beaches or the petrified forest.
How to get there
Vareia lies about 2.7 km south of Mytilene along the eastern coastal road — a short drive or a straightforward KTEL bus ride from the main terminal in town.
