Transfer from Mytilene Lesbos Airport to Eressou (Sappho's Birthplace)
Your journey starts on the EO36 national road, which leaves Mytilene and heads west towards Kalloni, passing Lampou Mili on the way. Past Kalloni the road skirts the salt flats and bay, then runs through Dafia, Filia and Anemotia to Skalochori. Beyond Skalochori you pass the traditional village of Vatousa and Antissa, where olive groves and hillside villages give way to the approach to Eressos.
At Mytilene Lesbos Airport your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where your flight lands, holding a name sign. Allow about 1h 30m to 1h 45m of driving plus pickup time, and build in a margin because village stops along the way can add time. Eressos town sits a few kilometres inland from the coastal Skala Eressou, so confirm your exact drop-off point with the driver when you book.
The main alternative is the KTEL Lesvou intercity bus on the Mytilene – Eresos – Skala Eresos line, which takes about 2h 30m and departs from Mytilene's KTEL station rather than the airport, so you need an extra transfer first. A taxi from Mytilene has been estimated at roughly $75–95, but that figure is unverified and the fare is not fixed. A pre-booked private transfer offers a fixed price with tolls included, a 60-minute free wait at arrivals and no extra cost for flight delays.
