The Institute of Geodynamics in Athens says the temblor occurred at 10:50 p.m. local (1950 GMT) and its epicenter was 31 kilometers (20 miles) south of the town of Mytilini.
The quake was at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).
Three more tremors of magnitudes 3.0, 3.3 and 3.8 have occurred since the initial shake.
Lesbos and the nearby Turkish coast were shaken by a 6.2 magnitude earthquake Monday that killed one person and displaced over 800 on the island.
Greece lies on an especially earthquake prone zone and tremors over 5 magnitude are far from rare.
