Yeni Mosque, Mytilene Mosque

Address: Yeni Mosque, Mytilene, Lesbos (Mytilene old town area), Greece

The Yeni Mosque in Mytilene is an Ottoman-era mosque located in the central district of Mytilene on the island of Lesbos, Greece.

Placed near the harbour and the old town, it forms part of Mytilene’s Ottoman-era architectural heritage and contributes to the historic waterfront ensemble.

Originally built during Ottoman rule, the building’s use and condition have changed over time in line with the island’s political and social changes through the 19th and 20th centuries.

The mosque stands in the compact urban fabric of Mytilene, immediately accessible from the port area and the town’s main streets.

• Location tip: Situated close to Mytilene’s harbour and the old town, it is readily seen on a walking tour of the waterfront but may not function as an active mosque.
• Practical note: Access and opening can vary with ownership and local use, so check locally before planning interior visits.

Mytilene is Lesbos’s main town and is reached by ferry from mainland ports or by air via Mytilene International Airport (MJT). The mosque is in the old town, a short walk from the harbour and main town square.

• The Yeni Mosque in Mytilene is a functioning mosque - observe local customs and prayer times when visiting.
• Combine a visit with walking Mytilene's waterfront and the Castle of Mytilene for broader context.
• Small local guidebooks or a tourism office in Mytilene can confirm visiting hours and any conservation restrictions.
