About Lesbos

Lesbos is the third largest Greek island located in the north-eastern Aegean Sea, boasting one of the sunniest climates in the country. Its landscape is both diverse and beautiful, compacted with unspoilt beaches, fossilised forests and archaeological monuments. However, the most attractive feature of Lesbos is the absence of mass tourism, unlike some other Greek islands, making it one of the country’s more peaceful holiday destinations. Given the tranquillity, a trip to Lesbos gives visitors a chance to gain a true Greek experience by enjoying the authentic cuisine and relaxing on the long stretches of untouched coastline. As the Aegean Sea is home to a large number of islands, there are plenty of ferry routes from Lesbos on offer. From the port town of Mytilini on the southeast coast, you can sail to numerous islands and the Greek mainland.
