The Hotel is in an excellent position, its only 4 minutes walk to the Ferry Port, Bars & restaurants were 2 minutes walk away with the main Mytilini harbour 3 minutes walk away. Lesvos as an Island is quite compared to other Greek Islands with not many tourists from abroad, lots of local people could be found eating & drinking in Restaurants & Bars, where the prices were very cheap & the food excellent. For anyone thinking of visiting Lesvos, to see the Island you will need to hire a Car, roads are very good & driving was a pleasure (everywhere was well signposted in Greek & English).
