Welcome to lesvos.

It is where the largest Acheulean assemblage was ever found in southeastern Europe and where one can see fossilized tree-trunks formed 20 million years ago. This is the birthplace of Biology and the first home of the matured dithyramb. It is where the first novel of the world was written and one of the few islands which are under the UNESCO heritage. Lesvos is where you can find healing waters and gastronomical treasures. Churches, museums, art galleries, monuments, festivals and all year-round events. Inspiration to write a poem or to change your lifestyle. Lesvos has the energy to make you look deep inside and reinvent yourself.

Lesbos ( Λέσβος ), or Lesvos , is the northernmost of the East Aegean Islands of Greece, projecting out of the Asia Minor mainland.

It is a birthplace of numerous poets and writers since the Greek antiquity. The island of Lesbos continues to inspire, through this cultural heritage, its natural beauty, and its easygoing lifestyle expressed by its people as a familiarity towards all its visitors.

Understand [ edit ]

Even though they inaccurately say it is due to the erotic element in some poems by the famous Sappho , instead of Lesbos ( Λέσβος ) it is popular to refer to the island by the name of its capital town of Mytilene ( Μυτιλήνη ). Spellings of Lesvos and Mitilini are widespread transliterations, reflecting the actual Greek pronunciation.

Of all the islands of Greece , Lesbos is only preceded in area by Crete (South) and Evvia (Centre). However, in terms of administration, the prefecture of Lesvos comprises three major islands, Lesbos, Lemnos at the northwest, and the tiny Agios Efstratios in the middle between the first two islands.

Geographically, Lesbos includes two seawater gulfs, with narrow openings both to the south, that elongate the coastline and shaping the island characteristically like a fig tree or plane tree leaf , as described by the native nobelist poet Odysseas Elytis. The landscape is different in the various regions; most striking is the contrast of the far west region, rocky with low vegetation, to the east and central parts, where olive and pine tree forests dominate. Its elevation reaches almost 1000 m at both points: the north at mount Lepetymnos and the south at mount Olympos , a name identical to the original Olympus in Thessaly .

Cultural information [ edit ]

People of Lesbos have admired culture since the ancient times, and throughout the centuries many poets, writers, philologists, painters emerged.

Two of the famous ancient classics were the poet Sappho (whose erotic poems gave rise to the word lesbian ), born in Eressos and the lyric poet Alcaeus of Mytilene, an older contemporary. A glimpse of the ancient life in Lesbos is exhibited in the new Archeological Museum of Mytilene building. Bypassing some notable people before the 19th century, the naïve painter Theofilos would depict not only the lifestyle of his time, but also the ancient myths survived in the tradition; Teriade , an art critic, preserved Theofilos' work among his collection of Picasso and Matisse in his own gallery, the Teriade Museum in Varia , a suburb of Mytilene on the way south to the airport. Both museums are worth visiting.

The town of Mytilene shows architectural variety. Its expansion to the southwest suburbs is mostly of simple modern buildings; on the south way to the airport one can find a neighbourhood of old mansions, called Sourada , extended to the airport road, impossible not to be noticed; the north part called Epano Skala (meaning upper port ) is the oldest, hosting one of the largest castles of the archipelago and some villas; a careful eye can notice some temples for the Muslim population that used to live in the Ottoman times. The heart of the town is the market street, Ermou street, just behind the quai. While walking on this busy street, pay a visit to the baroque-style temple of Agios Therapon , a "trademark" site of Mytilene. This variety in styles is not bounded only in Mytilene; one can notice small mansions and villas (serving as public buildings usually) scattered in the villages of the whole island.

Tradition [ edit ]

Lesvos is quite well known for the great number of its local, traditional products. As mentioned before, Lesvos is very famous for Ouzo, as it is considered one of the places it originates from. Also, Lesvos is quite famous for its pottery. Agiasos and Mandamados are the two villages that have the biggest tradition in ceramic art. Many ceramists live and work in these villages. Some of the ceramists there are Antonia Gavve (and Demetrios Hadjigiannis. Except for ceramics, woodcraft is also very developed in Lesvos.

Towns and villages [ edit ]

39.1066 26.5553 1 Mytilene - (Μυτιλήνη) The capital of Lesvos at the east end. A busy town as it concentrates the hospital, the university, the port, the airport, the court, the prefecture and other administrative headquarters.

39.1687 25.9338 3 Eressos is a small dale town at southwest paving the way to the sandy beach, or 39.1358 25.9313 4 Skala Eressou , thus being mostly a summer resort. Its fame as the birthplace of Sappho attracts some lesbian (homosexual) couples , but they consist a part of the whole number of Eressos' visitors, as it is a place too beautiful to become isolated.

39.231 26.208 5 Kalloni is the second-largest town, in the centre of the island, at the north of the greater of the two gulfs (thus called "Gulf of Kalloni").

39.311 26.336 6 Mandamados , at the northeast, for the ceramic art tradition and the locally produced dairy products, as well as its monastery.

39.132027 26.00283 7 Mesotopos is a village at the southwest which keeps alive traditions and is famous for the "koudounatoi" men who wear sheep-bells in a springtime fest called "apokria" ( Carnival ).

39.3679 26.175 8 Molivos , the ancient Mithymna (Μήθυμνα spelled also as Methymna ), the most important destination for a visitor, because of its attractions: the Gattilusi Castle and the whole preserved traditional architecture.

• 39.021 26.199 7 Vatera one of the longest beaches in Greece, at the south coast.

Talk [ edit ]

Greek is the main language but many, especially younger people, know English as a second language. Most signs are bilingual or even English-only, but usually spelling follows a transliteration of the place is pronounced in Modern Greek, so it can be a little hard to recognize.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ].

Flights run regularly to/from Athens , Thessaloniki , Chios , Lemnos and Crete. Internationally, the island is a popular holiday destination so is served by regular charter flights.

Olympic Air [dead link] and Aegean Airlines provide daily scheduled services from Athens.

Local bus that serves airport from Mytilene: Astiko KTEL , timetable [dead link] , approximately hourly departing from Sappho square (Plateia Sapfous, Πλατεία Σαπφούς)

By boat [ edit ]

Ferries sail from Piraeus , the port for Athens on the Greek mainland, taking 8-9 hours to Mytilini via the island of Chios . Nothing much to see on the way except the sea, so you might prefer an overnight sailing. Operators are Hellenic Seaways and Blue Star Ferries .

Car ferries from Ayvalık on the Turkish mainland take 90 min. Turyol is the ferry line: in 2022 a one way adult ticket was €20, return €30. Ferries no longer sail from Dikili.

Get around [ edit ]

Local buses run on the island to the bigger villages on the island. You can buy tickets in the bus. The major bus stop and information station is in Mitilini.

Taxis are cheap and the taxi drivers are obliged to use the meter. Taxis based in Mitilini are yellow. Taxis not based in Mitilini are grey-coloured. Taxis can be used for local transportation, transfers and excursions, but also for emergencies.

A good way to see the island is to rent a car or a scooter.

A local, good quality and affordable car rental place, Auto Moto, can be found at the airport, and many more car rental places at and around Kountouriotou Street at Mitilini's harbourfront. Recommended if you are a confident driver!

Skip Ahead To My Advice Here!

Lesvos Vs. Lesbos

You will see this island is spelled both Lesbos Island and Lesvos Island . And we will write it both ways through this post. So why has this remarkable destination acquired two names? It is to the Island’s name and is spelled with the Greek letter B, aka Beta.

In Greek, Beta is pronounced as we English speakers say, V. So it sounds like ‘Les-Vos.’ Ancient Greeks may have pronounced Beta like an English B, but modern Greeks tend to pronounce it as a V. Most English speakers pronounce it Lesbos – but both are correct.

Where Is Lesbos Island 

The island of Lesbos is located on the North Eastern Aegean Sea , quite close to the coast of Turkey. There are several towns to spend time on the island, including the capital, Mytilene, Molyvos, Agiassos, Plomari, and Skala Erasou.

How To Get To Lesvos Island

The most popular way to reach Lesbos is to travel by ferry from Athens .

There are several weekly departures from the port of Piraeus . You can also travel by ferry departing from the port of Kavala. This port, located on the northern part of the Greek mainland, is also the place of departure for the ferries going to Syros , Chios , and Ikaria .

The island also has an international airport  in Mytilene, receiving flights from Athens and Thessaloniki all year round.

Mytilene is also connected with other Aegean islands during the summer, with flights arriving from Crete , Samos, Rhodes , and a few European countries.

When To Visit Lesvos Island

Boasting the typical Mediterranean weather you will find in most of the Greek islands , Lesbos has plenty of sunny days and warm temperatures throughout the year. 

The hottest months of the year are July and August, while temperatures get more pleasant at the end of the season (September). Spring is also an excellent time to visit if you want to enjoy a cooler climate with fewer crowds on the beach.

Best Things To Do In Lesbos 

Home to myth, culture, and incredible landscapes, this hospitable island is a favorite destination in Greece.   This stunning volcanic island is also home to unexpected hot springs and the largest petrified forest in the world.

Offering dozens of unique experiences, this is our selection of the best things to see and do in Lesbos.

Castle Of Molyvos

One of the most interesting sites on the island is in the town of Molyvos, in the northern area of the island. Here, you will find a unique Byzantine castle (one of several strong castles on the island) towering over the city and offering spectacular panoramic views.

Dating back to the eleventh century, the Castle of Molyvos was actually built over a former and much older fortress that probably dated back to the Archaic era. Its primary function was to contrast attacks coming from the Turkish city of Smyrna not many years before the final invasion and conquest of the island by the Ottoman Empire.

After defending the region from several attacks, the fortress finally fell in 1458, giving way to a long siege over the city.

To access the castle, it is necessary to pass through three different protection gates, the last made from metal-plated wood.

From the top of the castle, it is possible to understand how close the Turkish coast is to the island.

Castle Of Mytelene

Another unmissable fortress on the island, the Castle of Mytilene, is one of the largest strongholds in the Mediterranean . The fort stands on the ruins of an ancient Greek acropolis.

The castle was first built back in the sixth century under the orders of Emperor Justinian. However, in the fourteenth century, the Genoans ruled the island, and the castle became the home and seat of the governor.

Since Lesbos, like many other Greek islands, underwent various invasions at the hand of several cultures in the Mediterranean, the castle is a living example of those conquests and rules. It features a Byzantine cistern, a tekke or Islamic monastery, and an Ottoman Hammam.

Temple Of Aphrodite – Mesa Archaeological Site

Considered among the oldest archaeological sites in Lesbos, this site is located between Molyvos and Mytilene.

Although just a few ruins are available, consider a guided visit with a local archaeologist to learn everything about the goddess of beauty and love, Aphrodite, and this place devoted to meditating and worshiping the deity.

The site has become a pilgrimage place on the island, often visited by people interested in yoga, meditation, and other spiritual practices.

Check out other Greek temples worth a visit in the country!

Petrified forest of lesbos.

Hundreds of fossilized tree trunks were once part of a lush forest that is about 20 million years old near the island’s western coast.

Although there are a few petrified trees scattered in different spots under the water off the coast of Lesbos, the majority of the forest is located inside a National Forest Park standing near the village of Sigri.

Archaeologists and other researchers believe that the phenomenon of petrifaction occurred due to the lava and ashes coming from eruptions in the Neogene Period. This forest, larger than the famous petrified forest in Arizona, is the only one of this kind in Europe.

Natural History Museum Of The Lesbos Petrified Forest

Pair the visit to the Petrified Forest of Lesbos with a tour of the natural history museum, also near the forest in the village of Sigri. On the premises, you can see the remarkable exhibition of the petrified forest and over forty diverse species of trees in the forest.

In a different hall, it is possible to learn about the interesting volcanic history of the Aegean. The exhibition includes rocks, minerals, and also anthropological exhibits from the Neolithic, including tools and remains of extinct primates that once lived in the Aegean. 

New Archaeological Museum

Located in Mytilene, this is the perfect place to visit to learn everything about the island’s past. It features a permanent exhibition that depicts life on Lesbos from the Hellenistic Period to the end of the Roman period.

During the visit, you can check out an impressive collection of figurines, vases, ceramics, but also funerary objects, and an incredible marble funerary relief.

Kalloni Salt Pans

Perfect spot for birdwatchers, especially in the fall and spring, the impressive bay south of Kalloni features a unique salt pan that gives refuge to various wildlife, including flamingos and even sheep.

However, the place is a haven for migratory birds, including storks, redshanks, sandpipers, stilts, and many more.

Roman aqueduct.

Known as the Roman Aqueduct of Moria, the ruins of this once impressive engineering marvel are located in the heart of a valley outside the town of Mytilene.

The construction dates back to the third century AD, and the largest remaining part of the structure is about 160 meters long, with two and up to three levels of arches made of local grey marble.

The aqueduct was used to channel water from the springs on the Mountain Olympos to the ancient city of Mytilene, covering a distance of 26 kilometers.

Plomari Ouzo Distillery

If there is one thing that Lesbos is known for, it’s Ouzo. In fact, on the island, you can find the most famous ouzo brand in the world in Plomari. The factory was founded in 1894 by Isidoros Arvanitis, a native of the village of Plomari. 

This distillery has been producing Greece’s most beloved spirit ever since, following a secret formula that has pretty much remained the same throughout the years.

The factory is open to the public. Visitors and tours are available for those interested in learning the production process and those who want to know about ouzo and taste different varieties of this popular drink!

Ouzo Museum Barbayannis

As we have already mentioned, the island’s staple product is the popular spirit you will easily spot in every Greek tavern, Ouzo.

You can learn more about this solid anise-flavored spirit by visiting the Barbayannis Distillery and the village of Plomari. The company dates back to 1860, and it was founded by a Russian immigrant who took advantage of the area’s water and herbs to develop his recipe.

Next to the modern premises of the distillery, it is possible to visit the Ouzo Museum to learn about ouzo production and the history of the family. 

During the visit, you can also explore the distillery, sample different types of ouzo, and purchase your ouzo souvenir at the factory’s shop.

Here is a highlights guide to the magical island of Lesvos to navigate your way through it like a local!

The best towns and villages on Lesvos island

The most beautiful village of Lesvos is located in the northern part of the island, at a distance of 60 km from the capital, Mytilini.

Molyvos impresses the visitor by maintaining its imposing Genoese castle, which "crowns" the settlement and is considered one of the best-preserved castles in the eastern Mediterranean.

The village, with its traditional stone-built cobblestone streets, beautiful stone mansions with wooden balconies, as well as the dreamy view of the sunset, is a favorite destination on the island for those who want to discover places that really remain engraved in their memory forever.

A walk through the flowery alleys offers incredible picturesque images, while the fragrances that emerge from the village's ouzos are among its main features that delight the visitor.

What is worth mentioning about Molyvos is the fact that to preserve the architectural specificity of the settlement and its traditional color and aroma – since 1965, it has been declared a protected settlement – ​​building is not allowed unless the materials used are stone and wood.

Antissa is the second most important village in the region and the birthplace of the ancient poet and musician Terpandros.

Its square with the centuries-old plane trees, which create a beautiful landscape with the shade they give to the coffee tables, will attract your attention.

Its port is the picturesque settlement of Gavathas , where most of the inhabitants are engaged in fishing, while tourism is a growing employment sector. According to legend, the lyre and the head of Orpheus were found here after he was killed by the Maenads.

At a short distance from the settlement is the Monastery of Perivolia, which was built at the beginning of the 17th century and is decorated with remarkable Byzantine frescoes.

A village is known worldwide for its ouzo, and, of course, the large village of Plomari could not be without an ouzo museum.

Today, in the picturesque Plomari of Lesvos , technology coexists with history and tradition. Next to the modern, privately owned distilleries of the Varvagianni Distillery is the Ouzo Museum of the Varvagiannis family.

The museum exhibits the first tools used for bottling and affixing the famous Blue label and the first cauldron built in 1858 in Constantinople, in which centuries-old secrets and techniques were tested to give birth to the recipes of the Varvagiannis family.

In the area of ​​Plomari, you could not miss the beaches with the best of them Ag. Isidore. Agios Isidoros is located 2 km after Plomari in a tourist area with hotels and restaurants.

It is about 1500m long and is a beach with fine pebbles. It is an organized beach and is considered one of the cleanest beaches of Lesvos with very clear water and has been awarded a blue flag.

Kalloni is a large settlement in terms of population. It is located 40 kilometers northwest of Mytilini and spreads out in a large and fertile plain in the island's center.

The plain of Kalloni, the island's largest plain, with its abundance of water and rich soil, is the center of Lesvos, which has been densely populated since ancient times. In its fertile plain, olive trees, fruit trees, and potatoes are cultivated, while there are also smaller crops with vines and citrus fruits.

At a distance of 4 kilometers, there is Skala Kallonis, an organized commercial and picturesque port in the Gulf area with an abundance of fish taverns. With its port, Skala Kallonis, it has experienced quite intense tourism and has become one of the best-known tourist destinations on the island due to its central location.

Skala Kallonis, with its long sandy beach that is awarded every year with a Blue Flag and with the development of hotel units, is also famous for the well-known Kallonis sardine or "papalina" which is one of the classic Greek delicacies. In fact, as part of cultural events, the seafood "Festival of Sardines" is organized every summer.

The picturesqueness of the area is completed by the bay's salt marshes and the wetlands, which, due to the presence of a large number of rare birds, is a point of attraction for intense ecotourism. It is worth visiting the wetland, the area with the rarest species.

The coastal areas of the Gulf of Kalloni have been included in the "Natura 2000" network since they are an excellent refuge and breeding ground for rare and protected bird species. The salt marshes of Kalloni gather many species of birds, such as flamingos, which offer observers an impressive sight.

The best beaches on the Greek island of Lesvos

Tarti is one of the best beaches on the island, with pebbles and a large area in the southern part, east of Plomari. The first taverna you will meet there, which is almost always full, is the best fish tavern in the area where the locals also eat.

Agios Stefanos

North of Mytilini, you should go to Mandamados , and on those shores to the east are the beaches of Agios Stefanos (St. Stefan), one of the few sandy beaches on the island. Many dirt roads will take you to various beautiful beaches.

Vatera below Polychnitos has been voted one of the best beaches in Greece. I think it is the longest beach on the island and you can enjoy your swim.

Next to the beautiful Molyvos , to the east, there is Eftalou, a beautiful beach with large pebbles and stones, but it deepens abruptly, and you will not understand them.

With a family profile, excellent facilities for games, and water sports over 8 km, this beach will become your favorite. Around it, there are taverns, beach bars, and hotels.

Petra, Anaxos

In the northern part of the island and to the left of Molyvos, there is Anaxos (Anaxos) below the village of Skoutaro , where it is also very beautiful and touristic.

Beach with umbrellas and sunbeds – everything for families and water sports enthusiasts. Three kilometers west of the village is the beach of Anaxos, an organized sandy beach with tavernas and a great view of Molyvos.

Open the umbrellas and relax on the sunbeds of Kanoni beach , in Thermi, north of Mytilini, where you will find beach bars and tavernas as well as water sports.

Skala Eresou

A beach with crystal clear waters, fine gray sand, and a length of 2.5 km. They are suitable for a casual atmosphere, while its remarkable infrastructure makes it one of the most important tourist resorts on the island with a special lifestyle – as the birthplace of Sappho , it is a classic destination for gays from all over the world.

Just 4 km from the village of Mesotopos, there is this beautiful sandy beach with the small plain to the Mallionta river . Although deserted, here you will also find a canteen with a few suggestions for food.

Near the village of Klio, this water oasis is the best secret. Crystal clear waters, red sand, and – if you are lucky – dolphins basking in the waters of the North Aegean! It is recommended to bring a cooler with the essentials to spend several hours there.

The sandy beach of Kalloni attracts those in the area to drink ouzo and taste the famous sardine. Bars and taverns are spread along it.

Saint Isidore

The beach of Plomari will reward anyone who swims in its deep blue waters. Plus the green landscape, the fine gravel, and the excellent tourist infrastructure.

Sigri, Faneromeni

In the village of the same name, on the west of the lovely island, spread a towel on the sandy beach, admire the castle and take a dip in the shallow waters. It has many hotels, nice restaurants, and cafes around it. On the other side is the more deserted, huge beach of Faneromeni, which is often caught by the wind, so surfers will love it.

You will prefer Kampos, near Antissa, if you like... solitude. With large pebbles and fine sand just a few inches before you reach the sea, it's a good idea to bring supplies as there is nothing nearby. In Ancient Antissa, the beaches (some sandy and others pebbly) are shallow and surrounded by green plains. They are usually preferred by older people for the few but good fish restaurants. You will discover them coming from Kampos by crossing a river.

Gulf of Geras

There are many beaches in the bay, but the wide, sandy Tarti is just what you need for those who like fishing. There are taverns and well-kept guesthouses around.

Things to do on Lesvos island

Explore the castle of molyvos.

Molyvos Castle is a great historical monument that stands tall on the island of Lesvos. The castle is open to visitors and is one of the best-preserved castles in the Mediterranean. It is worth spending some time here to explore the site and learn about its history.

The castle is also a popular cultural hub for the island and hosts many festivals, music concerts, and cultural events throughout the year, so it might be worth checking if there are any performances here during your visit to the island. It is located above the picturesque, traditional village of Molyvos, and the cobbled streets here are well worth a visit. You will find many traditional cafes and taverns to stop for refreshments and take in the beautiful views.

Visit the ancient theatre of Mytilene

Did you know that Mytilene has an ancient theater? This Hellenistic jewel (2nd century BC) is the most prominent public monument of the ancient city. It was built on the highest point of Mytilene, next to the inland walls, in an exceptional area that is believed to have been a grove in ancient times. It was also visible to those approaching the city from the sea through its two ports.

It is considered one of the most important theaters of the ancient world, as according to Plutarch in the Life of Pompey, it was the model on which the construction of the permanent stone theaters of Italy was based. Pompey, having a close relationship with the Lesbian historian and scholar Theophanes , liberated Mytilene in 62 BC.

The city celebrated the triumph of the Roman emperor in the theater. Pompey admired it and ordered his architects to design it and build a copy of it in Rome, but bigger and brighter. The capacity of the horseshoe-shaped hollow is estimated at approximately 18,000 spectators. It is worth visiting and admiring the surrounding area.

Stop by Panagia Glykofilousa

At Panagia Glykofilousa , in the small town of Petra, you can follow the flight of 114 steps to the top of the rock, where you will find a beautiful church and courtyard offering a picturesque view overlooking the coast, mountains, and Rabbit Island. worth the trip to the top.

It is a place of pilgrimage for many Greeks, especially on the fifteenth of August, for the celebration of the Assumption of the Virgin.

Go to Eftalou for its thermal baths.

Just 4 kilometers away from Molyvos , the beach of Eftalou, with its thermal baths, is hidden. I imagine you think that thermal baths are only for old people, but a test will convince you and above all it will relax you.

After all, we are not talking about an ultra-luxurious spa but a pure, authentic spring in a wonderful spot, which makes the experience different, in addition to therapeutic.

Walk in the Petrified Forest of Lesvos

The Petrified Forest of Lesvos is a petrified forest on the island of Lesvos, Greece. It is a UNESCO World Geopark and well worth a visit.

The forest was formed from the fossilized remains of plants and trees, which are found in many locations in the western part of Lesvos.

Here you can find some hiking trails and routes to explore the area. Bring water in summer as there is little shade and it can get very hot.

Discover ancient history at the New Archaeological Museum of Mytilene

The New Archaeological Museum in Mytilin i is small but charming, you could easily spend a few hours going through the details of each exhibit on display.

The museum's highlight is the breathtaking mosaic floors that can be found around the building and are commonly found in houses in Mytilini.

Be sure to check out the photo on the screen that helps explain how the mosaics were removed from their original locations.

Also worth seeing is a collection of ceramics exhibited by local artists from the island.

Mytilini is the island's capital and is worth exploring for its castle, beaches, architecture, and restaurants.

Hiking in the northern foothills of Mount Scotino

Make the most of the incredible foothills trails you can find around the island of Lesvos.

For those looking to do a moderate half-day hike on the island, I would recommend the Petra – Lafionas hiking trail.

It is 11 kilometers long and will take you to Mount Skotinos, offering stunning scenic views of the coast and accessible all year round.

Or, if you prefer a coastal hike, try walking from Petra to Ampelia via Anaxos.

Learn about the olive culture on the island at the Industrial Olive Farming museum of Lesvos, Greece

Learn about the adoption of the industrial phase of olive production and how it transformed olive oil on the island of Lesvos at the Museum of Industrial Olive Oil Production.

There are said to be over 11 million olive trees on Lesvos – that's 122 olive trees per inhabitant!

The museum focuses on the legacy of the mechanical machines that transformed olive oil in the region and throughout Greece and looks deeper into the architectural, social, and cultural context of the era and how the machines helped change everyday life.

And, of course, on Lesvos, you can taste this liquid gold with every meal!

Visit the Ouzo Barbagiannis Museum

Lesbos is famous for the quality of ouzo production .

And what better place to learn all this than the Ouzo Barbagiannis Museum?

Here you can learn about the production process, the history of ouzo on the island, and what ingredients go into making ouzo.

Before you leave, be sure to grab a bottle or two of ouzo to bring a taste of the island back home with you.

Sip it over ice like the locals do, accompanied by delicious local meze (tapas).

Final Thoughts

Lesvos is an island that is a surprise even to local Greeks, as it has unmatched beauty and traditional character that has yet to gain the attention of travelers worldwide.

• The Top 10 Things To...

The Best Things to See & Do in Lesbos

It’s there, somewhere, in the Northern Aegean : an island laden with mythology, culture and natural wonders. Lesbos – also spelt Lesvos and sometimes called Mytilene – blows people away when finally they get here. The islanders are famous for their warmth and hospitality – more often than not, they’ll derail your plans for the day – delightfully – in their enthusiasm to show you Mytilene. Here are the best things to see and do in Lesbos. Try them all.

1. wander the street of molyvos.

Architectural Landmark

Time-honoured cobblestone streets lined with shops, cafes and art galleries make Molyvos a don’t-miss part of your holiday. It’s the most-visited city in Lesbos for a good reason. Beyond the natural beauty, it’s a stronghold of enquiring minds, creative residents and discerning travellers. Every ouzeri and cafe seems to be an epicentre of great philosophical debate. Ascend to the Castle of Mythimna for a history lesson of your own so you can join the discussions.

2. Relax in the thermal springs

Natural Feature

Legend holds the hot springs of Lesbos were a gift from Hephaestus, the god of fire. There are five notable sources across the island, welling up from deep within the earth, the water temperature reaching a scalding 40C (104F). Rich in minerals, it is said to heal ailments as diverse as rheumatoid arthritis, cirrhosis of the liver and joint pain, among many complaints. For the ultimate relaxation and healing, head to the baths in Polychnitou or Thermi.

3. Visit the Petrified Forest

One of the most unique places you can visit in all of Greece is the petrified forest of western Lesbos. The fossilised trees are more than 20 million years old and provide insight into what the vegetation, flora and fauna would have been like in prehistoric times. Volcanic activity all those aeons ago stopped this forest where it grew, under a layer of lava. There are more than 40 identifiable species in this protected area. To contemplate them is simply remarkable.

5. Learn about ouzo at the Plomari Factory

The world’s most famous ouzo brand comes from Plomari in Lesbos – you can smell the fine aromatic ingredients before you even set foot inside. The distillery has been making the anise-flavoured favourite since 1894, and the formula remains a closely guarded secret. Come and join the great tour, which engages all your senses while revealing the history behind Greece’s most famous tipple. Of course, the tour ends with tots of this mighty drink. Opa!

6. Petra Beach

One of Lesbos’s larger strands, Petra Beach, has all the facilities you need for a day by the sea. The parasols are owned by the relevant cafes and restaurants and are yours to use free of charge when you buy something to eat and drink. The water is sparklingly clean, and the sand is easy on the soles, composed of tiny, grainy pebbles. This is the perfect place to come and relax, staying to catch the sunset and sip a dusk cocktail composed of locally made Plomari ouzo.

7. Travel through time at the Castle of Mytilene

Historical Landmark

This architectural masterpiece evolved over centuries. The Byzantine castle you see today may have been built on an ancient acropolis. Parts of it were likely destroyed during the Roman era, while the lower sections were modified during the period of Ottoman occupation – and now house a Turkish bath. The whole thing is pretty big and takes time to see in full. But there are incredible, hypnotic views of the blue Aegean Sea below to drink in while you explore.

8. Tour the Olive Wood House

For decades the Prodromou family has been making fine handcrafted products out of olive wood in the small village of Pamfila, just beyond Mytilene. They’ll jump at the chance to show you the workshop, where everything is made. There’s something for everyone in the showroom, from olive-wood jewellery to cooking utensils to children’s toys. All products are honed from Lesbos timber, and if you’re after a gift or a souvenir, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

9. Chill at the Temple of Aphrodite

Historical Landmark, Architectural Landmark

Welcome to one of the oldest archaeological sites on Lesbos, well worth pulling over for as it’s easy to find while driving between Molyvos and Mytilene. Little remains of what was once a place of worship for the goddess of beauty and love, Aphrodite, yet the grounds are peaceful. Seize the opportunity to switch off and meditate for an hour or two – perhaps on the fascinating myths about the deity, which (top tip) we recommend you read up on beforehand.

10. Get down deep with some scuba diving

Sports Center

Take the plunge and explore the Aegean from a different perspective. Black Rock Dive Centre, the most trusted in Lesbos, prides itself on its well-deserved reputation for professionalism and safety. All levels catered for – to get you comfortable in your gear, practice takes place in a large pool. Once you’re ready to get in, it’s all aboard for the boat hop out to some pretty fantastic dive spots. You might glimpse silvery sea bream, shards of ancient pottery, even a shipwreck.

Everything You Need To Know When Traveling To Lesbos Island

Recently I visited one of the most popular Northern Aegean Islands: Lesbos, Greece. Soaking up the last rays of summer sun when the rest of Europe was getting cold. This peaceful island was putting a summer smile on my face at the end of Autumn. Lesbos is a great place to go off the beaten path in Europe . In this blog you can read how I explored the island by car and checked out all the Lesbos tourist spots with some amazing things to do and places to visit. Enjoy all my tips for traveling to Lesbos below.

Traveling from overseas to Europe? Click on the following link to find the best sim card for traveling in Europe in 2023  as I compared all the options out there for you. Don't waste money on expensive roaming costs or slow overseas data roaming! Just visiting Greece? Don't get stuck with high roaming costs. I recommend you buying a sim card in Greece in 2023 .

Lesvos or Lesbos

Let get this misunderstanding out of our way straight away. The official name is Lesvos as in Greek spelling the name of the island is Λέσβος and the letter ‘β’ is pronounced as a ‘v’. That is why local authorities name the island Lesvos. But as in English the ‘v’ is pronounced as a ‘b’, almost everyone writes Lesbos and that is also why I chose to name it Lesbos in this article. The island is often confused with ‘Lesbian’, the international term for homosexual women, but that has actually to do with a lady called Sappho who was born on the island a couple hundred years before Christ. She wrote poems with in which she expresses a strong desire for other women. Got it? :)

Now that we have all the facts right, let's travel to Lesbos and look at the things to do on the island.

Where is Lesbos Island

If you would look at the map and look for Lesbos Greece, you would almost think this island is be part of Turkey, but nope it is still part of Greece.

In fact if you walk out of the Lesbos Island airport and look across the water you will see Turkey mainland. The difference between Europe and Asia is only 7 kilometers here. Therefore I also named Lesbos Island in a list of hidden gems travel destinations in Europe in 2023 .

This was the view over Turkey on the other side when I walked out of the airport.

How to get to Lesbos

There are regular daily flights to Lesbos arriving on Mytilini International Airport. Domestic flights mostly arrive from either Athens or Thessaloniki, international flight come directly from Northern Europe as the biggest markets for Lesbos tourism is Scandinavia, Holland, Germany and the UK.

Ferries to and from Lesbos Island

There are of course also ferries that connect the island. Hopping on a ferry is in most cases significantly cheaper than a flight to Lesbos, but journeys are pretty long. Before the pandemic there were daily ferries (12h) from Piraeus to Mytillene. There is normally also a ferry from Lesbos to Thessaloniki that goes through Limnos Island.

Because of the global pandemic a lot of ferries are not operating, therefore I recommend you to check the below public transport search engine that includes all operating ferries in Greece.

Ferry from Lesbos to Turkey

There is also a boat connection with Turkey for people who are on an onward journey. If you are traveling from Europe to Turkey the Greek Island Lesbos can be your last stop in Europe.

How to get around in Lesbos Greece

There are public busses and I spoke to some backpackers traveling in Lesbos, but they weren't convincing. Traveling by public transport in Lesvos is not ideal at all! Bus schedules cant be really trusted and journey are long. One of the best things to do in Lesbos is to rent a car for your own convenience. Cars can be rented straight at the airport and you can already find car rentals for 1 week for €150. You just gotta search a little. Here are two local websites for car rentals:

• Rent a Car Lesvos
• Lesvos Car Hire

Planning your Lesbos holidays

The island is not the typical popular Greek island where mass tourism killed the vibe. Lesbos Island is still a place where you can find the authentic Greek laid-back lifestyle. The island is a hotspot for those tourist that are looking to have a drink on the side of the ocean overlooking idyllic bays and pretty calm beaches. Looking for that Mediterranean lifestyle? You will find it on a trip to Lesbos. Even after the main tourist season that is of course during the European summer, Lebos is still a great place to visit in Greece in October .

Steep cobbled stoned streets in Molyvos. Make sure to try one of the many delicious Greek desserts .

Ocean views are everywhere you go in the idyllic villages around the Lesvos coastline.

Your Lesbos holidays will be super relaxing and I am sure you will finish your book while enjoying the sun and eating delicious sea food at the same time. The slow paced islandlife feeling will get to you and I am sure you wont have a problem adapting to it, cause in the end this is a Lesbos holiday should be all about: serenity!

A beautiful quiet street in Petra.

The perfect place to chill in Molyvos.

Things to do in Lesbos

If you rent a car it is not a question of what to do in Lesbos, but more about what can you do in the number of days you have. There are so many things to do in Lesbos that I would recommend you to stay on the island for about 6 days and stay overnight at at least 2 different places. But more about that later.

Sample delicious food in traditional restaurants everywhere you go. This is in the Molyvos Harbour.

Enjoy the tranquillity in Lesvos.

1. Visit Molyvos

This is the most iconic town of Lesbos Island and such picture perfect place. Of all the things to do in Lesbos you cannot miss this one.

Molyvos is the pearl of the Greek island Lesbos with its town perched into the cliffs with the majestic castle on top like a guard keeping an eye on the town and its surroundings. Lesbos tourism can be proud to have such a jewel.

The tiny little streets leading uphill to the castle are adorned with numerous cute coffee places, souvenirs shops, bakeries and ice cream stalls. This is such a lovely place and a must do during your Lesbos holidays.

2. Hike, climb, bike or go horse riding in Molyvos

If you are looking what to do in Lesbos in terms of activities then this Northern region is perfect for you as well. There are many great hiking routes available, mountain biking tours can be found even as rock climbing. I passed these activities but went horse riding instead. 

Since this island has such a laid-back feel I chose the horse riding activity, it fits the Lesbos island vibe completely. Click here for more info about horse riding in Molyvos .

3. Scuba diving in Lesbos

Go scuba diving in Lesbos. There are amazing shipwrecks and the visibility is exceptional. Have a look here for more info about  scuba diving in Lesbos .

4. Glass bottom boat tour

Lesbos holidays aren’t complete without a boat tour of course. In the morning the sea was completely flat and we decided to book the glass bottom boat Calypso . They also organize barbecue tours to the nearby Rabbit Island.

The pituresque town of Petra seen from the ocean.

5. Visit the idyllic town of Petra

Petra is a little beach town with narrow streets and a kind of boulevard. Its beach is a popular hangout with sun beds and umbrellas in the peak season but the reason I went was the Panagia Glykofiloussa or in English the Church of Virgin Maria on top of the rock looming large over the little village.

There are 114 stairs that lead up to the church with an impressive interior and an even impressive view.

6. Have lunch in Skala Sikamnia

This is probably the cutest town on Lesbos island. It feels like there are a couple houses built around a little fishing marina and a church.

The ocean around this part of the island is crystal clear but I fell in love with the little colorful restaurants surrounding the marina.

A perfect place to have lunch on the water or jump in.

7. Pottery Art workshop in Mantamados

An hour drive southeast from Molyvos there is the sleepy little village of Mantamados that is famous for its pottery art. There are many workshops you can sign up for and it is great fun to try and make pottery and I can tell you it is not as easy as it may seem!

8. Monastery of Taxiarches

Just outside of Mantamados there is a beautiful monastery with an incredible church. Unfortunately it was not allowed to take pictures inside, but this is a photo from the peaceful courtyard.

9. Museum of industrial Olive Production

This museum will show you how they produced olive oil about a 100 year ago. The machinery and the production hall are still intact and the coolest thing is the whole process still works.

The entrance is a couple dollars and well worth checking out. On your way to The Museum Of Industrial Olive Production you will see the Olive plantations and be careful for wild sheep as they may suddenly cross the road! And the best things about visiting this museum is some samples of their products! 

10. Birdwatching in the Wetlands

The flamingo is not something you would travel to Lesbos for in the first place I guess but damn I had never seen flamingos in Europe (didn’t even know they existed on our continent). There are bunch of bird watching places around and some watch towers to climb into. I wish I had a zoom lens! :)

11. 4x4 Safari Lepetymnos Mountain

Get to the highest point in Lesbos at 994 meters above sea level in a 4x4 jeep and see wild horses on your way. You are able to feed them even. From the top of the Lepetymnos Mountain you have breathtaking views over Lesbos all the way to Asia. One of the coolest things to do in Lesbos when you ask me. Click here for more info about the 4x4 safari in Lesvos .

12. Petrified Forest

The Natural History of The Lesbos Island Petrified History Museum is the main tourist drag on this side of the island. This geological museum shows you fossils dating more than 20 million years ago, which apparently give away a lot of information about the existence of the earth. Definitely interesting for those who are into these kind of geological facts and studies.

The town of Sigri is not the most popular place on a greek island. Lesbos has more beautiful towns but people come here for to escape the tourists. Sigri tends to be more quiete and beaches are not busy at all. Also Sigri is due to strong winds always a little cooler and therefore in the hot summer months more pleasant. It has a small Turkish castle and some restaurants, but that is about it.

14. Mytilini

Of course don’t skip the vibrant capital of Lesbos Island. Mytilini is where everything happens in terms of nightlife and where young people gather. There is a University and a lot of lovely coffee shops, a shopping street, artistic cafes and hip bars. Terraces are full of people and at nighttime the city comes alive in the area around Sappho Square.

15. Archeological Museum Mytilini

Roam around the harbour in the morning and look at all the fishing boats coming in and out. Visit the fish market and watch the big ferries arriving then head up to the archaeological museum where you can find remnants of houses dating back from before Christ and pottery and statues from ages ago. It was pretty interesting, entrance fee is €4.

16. Castle of Mytilini

To get the best views over Mytilene head up to the castle on top of the hill. The entrance fee is €3, but the views from the fortified walls are worth it. Even in summer it is pretty quiet up here. Check out the Mytilene Caste's Wikipedia Page for more info and history.

17. Therma hot springs

For just a couple dollar you can dip into the hot springs overlooking the Bay of Geras. Therma Spa is a perfect place for a relaxing afternoon plus they have delicious sandwiches and good coffee. This place is totally worth it and among my favorite things to do in Lesvos.

18. Agiasos

About 40 minutes drive up hill from Mytilini you can find the sleepy but beautiful mountain village of Agiasos. The narrow and steep cobblestoned streets are amazing to wander through and surely you will find local hidden gems like small restaurants with authentic food, cute souvenir shops, etc.

The little square houses a bunch of colorful restaurants and some places to have a drink around a church. I really loved this cute little town with its steep streets and colorful houses. Such a photogenic pituresque village perfect for Instagram shots with old colorful houses and small wooden doors.

19. Plomari

Last but not least make sure to visit the town of Plomari or even stay here overnight. This cute town is the birthplace of the well-known Greek signature drink: Ouzo. There are 2 Ouzo Museums that can be visited: Barbayanni Ouzo  and World of Ouzo .

The vibe in Plomari was cool, I liked hanging out there plus it had some beautiful deserted beaches close to the city. Sadly my Lesbos itinerary did not make me stay there overnight, but next time I visit Lesvos, I definitely will do so.

Best beaches in Lesbos Greece

With more than 350 kilometers coastline there is plenty of choice is you want to find a beach that suits your mood. Deserted beaches, rocky, pebbled beaches, cliffs, hidden bays and popular beach spots with beach huts and sun beds. My favorite beaches in Lesvos are:

• Stefanos Beach in Agios
• Eftalou Beach in Molyvos
• Skala Kallonis Beach in Kalloni

Where to stay in Lesbos

The best thing to do is to stay in at least two different places on the island. Lesbos has two main tourist drags that cannot be missed, so I recommend to stay around Molyvos and Mytilini for sure. A third place to stay would be around the Sigri in the West to see the Museum of the Petrified Forest and discover some deserted beaches and bays.

Delfinia Hotel - amazing pool view and private beach .

Pyrgos Mytilini - Colonial estate with only a few rooms, amazing rooftop .

Ouzo Villas - great affordable luxury villas with a view in Plomari .

Irini Apartments - Santorini Style building with good reviews .

Villa Faros – The place to stay in Sigri .

Lesbos is a UNESCO World Heritage Site

If you travel to Lesbos you now know what to do and where to sleep, but what I did not mention yet is that Lesbos Island is a UNESCO world heritage site, yes the complete island!

The rich history, the culture, beautiful nature and its friendly people all contributed towards international recognition of this lovely island. Whether you come to relax and visit its peaceful little fishing villages, you come to hike, bike or dive or you come for its many beaches and clear blue waters I am sure your Lesbos holidays will be a winner.
