Useful Tips for Travelers

- Sigri Port: Located on the far western tip of Lesvos, serving this specific route.
- Mytilene Port: The island’s capital and primary commercial harbor on the east coast. Confirm your ticket destination to ensure you plan transport from Sigri (which is about a 1.5-hour drive or bus ride from Mytilene Town).
