Welcome Office Lesvos
Visitors say
It is a helpful NGO for refugees. Behavior of the staff is so warm and kind. They should grow their working space because of what I saw I believe they deserve.
Best place to help refugees with open hearts but some racists ,like always said bad things behind the good peoples. We are all human and equal I hope everyone know this✌🏻
About
Tucked near the village of Alyfada on the eastern side of Lesvos, Welcome Office Lesvos serves as a practical and friendly first port of call for visitors exploring this richly layered island. As a dedicated welcome and information service, it offers the kind of personalized local knowledge that no guidebook can fully replicate — helping travelers navigate everything from the island's diverse landscapes and historic Byzantine sites to its celebrated olive groves, petrified forest, and thermal springs.
Whether you are arriving for the first time or returning to discover a lesser-known corner of Lesvos, stopping here can transform a good trip into an exceptional one. The staff can point you toward authentic experiences off the beaten path, assist with accommodation and transport questions, and provide context about the island's culture, cuisine, and seasonal events. For visitors who find the island's sheer variety — beaches, villages, monasteries, birdwatching sites, and gastronomic traditions — pleasantly overwhelming, a visit to the Welcome Office offers a grounding orientation and a warm introduction to Lesbian hospitality.
Before you go
What to expect
A relaxed drop-in where staff actually sit down with you and engage with your itinerary — useful for pinning down day trips, finding out which village market is running that week, or getting a straight answer on where to eat in a particular area. Bring your questions; the local knowledge here takes years to accumulate and is genuinely hard to replicate from a map.
Best time to visit
Most valuable at the very start of your stay during the spring-to-autumn season, when getting oriented early frees up the rest of your trip.
How to get there
Located in central Mytilini, within easy walking distance of the port — a natural first stop after stepping off the ferry.
