Situated within the North-Eastern Aegean, Lesvos is an authentic Greek island with a long history and rich tradition.
Lesvos is the third largest Greek island, after Crete and Evia, and the eighth largest in the Mediterranean Sea.
Although the island remains a strong draw for tourists, it has managed to maintain its traditional aura.
Lesvos is the ideal place to experience the real Greece. It is the perfect destination with amazing food, beautiful beaches and is dotted with many picturesque villages such as Molyvos, Agiasos and Plomari.
Due to the large size of the island, a car is recommended to drive around Lesvos and discover its hidden treasures. Beaches are usually small and secluded, even in the high season.
