Kavala to Mytilini takes a little under ten hours, running south from the mainland coast of eastern Macedonia to Lesvos.

Mytilini is the capital and main port of Lesvos, the third largest Greek island, and it is a real working city rather than a resort town.

The island is known for olive oil, ouzo distilleries, birdwatching, the petrified forest in the west and villages such as Molyvos.
The route runs three or four times a week, which gives reasonable choice without being frequent. Current timetable and fares are shown below. From Mytilini you can continue south to Chios and Piraeus, or cross to Ayvalik on the Turkish coast on the short seasonal service.

Tips for the Kavala to Mytilini ferry
- A light cardigan or jacket is still useful in summer – the spray and wind on open deck can make even a 30°C day feel cool when the vessel is at speed.
- The ship's tannoy system uses a chime before announcements; listen for the three-tone signal that precedes important information about arrivals or delays.
- Do not leave valuables unattended in luggage – ferry saloons are busy places and opportunistic theft, while rare, does occur.
- In an emergency, follow crew instructions immediately; the muster stations are marked on deck plans posted in corridors and at cabin doors.
