Travel Information for

Inner Wellspring

Flights

  • The airport on Lesvos is Mytilene International Airport (Airport code: MJT).

  • For transportation to and from Lesvos, we recommend that you book your tickets in stages for the best price and experience.

    • Example booking in two stages (1) round-trip from US to Athens, (2) Athens to Mytilene.

    • Example booking in three stages: (1) round-trip from US to Europe, (2)
      European city to Athens, and (3) Athens to Mytilene.

    • There are a few International European Airports that you can bypass Athens and go directly to Mytilene.

  • We recommend using Hopper and/or Google Flights for flight preparation.

  • From the Mytilene Airport, we can pre-arrange a taxi driver to bring you one hour to the retreat center.

Boats

  • Another popular option is to get to Lesvos by boat! Greece is known for its islands, and island hopping by boat is the best way to get to know the country more.

  • There are daily boats that will bring you to the port in Lesvos ("Mytilene") from Athens ("Pireaus").

  • To book, please visit FerryHopper.

local transport

  • Taxis are always available for short trips through town. Rental cars, motorcycles, or bicycles are not necessary but can be rented if you wish. Every day we have a long lunch period that provides you with the flexibility to explore the Island of Lesvos on your own. However you may simply enjoy the walk from the retreat center to town and the beach which takes about 15-20 minutes.
