Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Mytilene Airport (MJT) to Mytilene town and its harbor, the capital of the island of Lesbos, Greece, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Mytilene International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Mytilene takes you from Odysseas Elytis Airport to hotels and apartments in Mytilene, the capital of Lesbos, from the harbor front to the streets below the castle.
Mytilene airport transfers start outside the arrivals exit of the small terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, whether you come in from Athens or on a summer flight from Scandinavia or the UK. Choose a vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group.
Each Mytilene airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel or apartment in town, or to the harbor. Staying in Molyvos, Petra, Eresos, Sigri or Plomari elsewhere on Lesbos? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Mytilene airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, with no stops for other passengers on the way into town. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases, strollers and beach gear. It suits families and groups staying together in Mytilene.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Mytilene International Airport (MJT), named "Odysseas Elytis" after the Nobel Prize-winning poet, is the airport for the island of Lesbos in the northeastern Aegean. It sits on the coast south of Mytilene, the island's capital, and is run by Fraport Greece. All flights use one small terminal; a new terminal is planned.
Aegean Airlines flies to Athens and Thessaloniki, and Sky Express to Athens, Thessaloniki, Chios, Lemnos, Samos and Rhodes; international routes run mainly in summer. Flights from Athens and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; if you come from outside the Schengen area, for example from the UK or Israel, you go through passport control. Two car rental companies have desks on site, and pre-booked drivers meet passengers outside the arrivals exit.
Greece is on Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and switches to UTC+3 for daylight saving time from late March to late October.
Schengen entry. Greece is in the Schengen area. Arrivals from outside it, for example from the UK or Israel, go through passport control. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Large island. Lesbos is a large island, and Molyvos, Petra, Eresos and Sigri are a long way from the airport, so plan your arrival day with that in mind.
Mytilene or Lesbos. Mytilene is the island's capital and the name of its airport; tickets and timetables may show Mytilene, Lesbos or Lesvos for the same place.
Euro and cash. Greece uses the euro; carry some cash for small purchases.
