Check-in Information Mykonos – Mytilene

Mykonos to Mytilene ferry
Leave the whitewashed lanes and wind-swept coastline of Mykonos behind and sail east towards Mytilene, the lively principal port of Lesbos in the north-eastern Aegean. This is a journey between two very different Greek islands: Mykonos is known for its Cycladic light and cosmopolitan energy, while Lesbos invites slower exploration of olive groves, traditional villages and a long, characterful shoreline. Arriving in Mytilene places you beside the island’s historic capital, where waterfront cafés, a substantial Byzantine castle and the old town’s streets give the first moments ashore a real sense of place. The Mykonos – Mytilene ferry route is an appealing choice for travellers continuing an island-hopping adventure or making Lesbos their main destination. Blue Star Ferries requires accommodation on this route option, allowing the crossing to feel like a considered part of the journey rather than simply the gap between two islands.
