Mytilene (Greek: Μυτιλήνη - Mytilíni, Turkish: Midilli), also Mytilini is the capital city of Lesbos, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, and the Lesbos Prefecture as well. It has a population of 32,000. Mytilene is linked with a highway numbered (GR-67) linking to Skala Eressou 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 Konstantinos Kenteris, the 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 Olympic champion in the 200-meter run, Konstantinos Kenteris, is a native of the city.
