There are many stops along the route but if you have a particular destination it is worth letting the driver know as they will drop you off. If you need specific information on the local bus service please email us and we will try to help.

Τhank you for this Robin . Will be so useful next week when we arrive . Ann and Peter
Do you have a shuttle service from the airport to Molyvos?
Hello Mark,
There is not a direct connection from the airport to Molyvos. You would need to catch the local bus into Mytilene and then get to the bus depot. Sadly the local bus does not go to the main bus depot. You would then get the bus to Molyvos.
You can see the timetable on the bus company website here http://bit.ly/2NFdlLk
It is much simpler, although more expensive to get a taxi!
Dear Robin,
We will stay in ‘Meraki time to smile’ this summer (Mithymna 811 08), can you tell us if we can take a bus there to Molyvos and how long it will take? And where will the bus stop, not in the centre? There’s no bus to the port or castle right? And until what time will the bus return?
Thanks for answering in advance. Greeting, Denise
The bus passes the path to the Meraki. It takes a couple of minutes to get to the stop in Molyvos, which is opposite the open-air cinema. There is no bus to the castle but the village train does. There is no bus to the port, you will need to take a taxi if you don’t want to walk (it is a very nice walk). The bus timetable can be seen above. We will post a new timetable as soon as it is published.
The Meraki is close to our house, 1km from the village entrance. We normally walk into the village, it helps build the appetite. The closest taverna is the Alonia, which is at the entrance to the village.
