The marina is built upon a reclaimed land area that expanded the historical waterfront of Mytilini.
The facility functions as an official Port of Entry for the Schengen Area, requiring all arriving vessels to complete formal clearance procedures.
The marina's design utilizes a concrete breakwater specifically engineered to neutralize the strong North Aegean winds known as the Meltemi.
It maintains a deep-water draft of up to 5 meters, allowing for the mooring of large-scale sailing catamarans and motor yachts.
Mytilini Marina is a modern, fully equipped tourist port located on the southeastern coast of Lesvos, Greece. The facility provides berthing for approximately 222 yachts, accommodating vessels up to 25 meters in length. It operates as a designated port of entry, featuring on-site customs and immigration offices for international arrivals. The marina is protected by an artificial breakwater, ensuring calm waters for moored vessels year-round. Shore-side infrastructure includes water and electricity hookups, fuel station access, and waste disposal services. Visitors can access a range of nautical support services, including mechanical repairs and slipway facilities. The site serves as a primary gateway for sailors exploring the North Aegean Sea. It is integrated into the Mytilini urban coastline, providing immediate access to the island's capital infrastructure.

Ensure all travel documents and boat registration papers are ready for inspection upon arrival at the customs office.
Check the weather forecast for the channel between Lesvos and the Turkish coast, as currents can be strong even when the marina is calm.
Coordinate with the marina office via VHF radio before entering the harbor to receive assigned slip instructions.
Do not attempt to moor at private or commercial ferry docks located in the adjacent harbor area; prioritize the designated marina entrance.
Standard maritime regulations apply; maintain low noise levels on docks and observe proper mooring protocol.
