Mytilene

Greece, North Aegean, Lesbos, Mytilene

Description

Mytilene is a large and busy harbour. Recently the harbour has been refurbished, with the bollards and moorings rings repainted and new water and electricity points installed along the quays (operated by a pre-paid card system). Local yachts moor, sometimes three deep, along the E quay opposite the port police office. Visiting yachts currently moor alongside on either the N or W side of the harbour. The berths here are sheltered from all except southerly winds, in which an uncomfortable swell develops. Mytilene is a port of entry. Sometimes the Coast Guard demands that you contact them before departure on VHF channel 12.
