'''Mytilene''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Μυτιλήνη - ''Mytilíni''), also '''Mitilini''' is the capital city of [[Lesbos]], a Greek island in the [[Aegean Sea]]. It has a population of 32,000. Mytilene is linked with a highway numbered ([[Greece Interstate 67|GR-67]]) linking to [[Skala Erissou]] on the other side of the island of [[Lesbos]]. Farmlands surround Mytilini, the mountains cover the west and to the north. The airport is located a few kilometres south on the small highway.

Mytilini has a beautiful port with ferries to the nearby islands of [[Lemnos]] and [[Chios]] and some other islands especially trading but serves none to the Turkish side except for trade. The port also serves to the mainland cities of [[Piraeus]] and [[Athens]] and [[Thessaloniki]]. The boat named during the 2001 IAAF games in Edmonton is named after [[Kostas Kenteris]], the ''[[Kenteris (ferry boat)|Kenteris]]'' serves to this city (his hometown) with 5-hour routes from Athens and Thessaloniki. The nearest port on the Greek mainland is Piraeus.

The [[2000 Summer Olympics|2000 Olympic]] champion in the 200-meter run, [[Konstantinos Kenteris]], is a native of the city.
