Mytilene Provisions — Supermarkets & Ermou Street Market

39° 6.1′ N · 26° 33.3′ E

Mytilene has mainland-scale provisioning: town-centre supermarkets a few minutes from the quay and marina, the cobbled Ermou street market for bakeries, cheese and olive oil, and big-box stores on the north side of town for a full restock.

Practical

Coordinate is the AB Vassilopoulos supermarket in the town centre (OpenStreetMap); a Masoutis is next door at 39.10198, 26.55576, both about 500 m from the marina. Larger stores on the northern outskirts: Sklavenitis (39.12462, 26.54456), AB Vassilopoulos (39.12553, 26.54547) and Lidl (39.13064, 26.54371) — a taxi ride with a full load. Ermou street, the old commercial street, runs north from the harbour (39.10618, 26.55573). Local specialities to stock: Ladotyri Mytilinis (sheep's cheese aged in olive oil), Kalloni sardines, Lesvos olive oil and ouzo. Bottled gas: Campingaz refills have been available through the marina chandlery (2016 report, verify locally).
