ABOUT LESVOS

Currently, Lesvos is mainly associated with the immigration crisis… though, she is mostly known by the word “lesbian” which, was derived from the name of the island due to the poet Sappho. Lesvos was her birthplace. What’s being overlooked is the fact that Lesvos is an incredibly beautiful, dynamic and diverse island – a hidden gem, amongst other things, The Other Aegean…

The island is packed with beautiful beaches, stunning natural sights, authentic villages/towns and, an array of significant museums to experience.  Plus, there’s plenty of things to do on Lesvos like, kitesurfing, diving, hiking, and biking and/or, olive oil picking and, ouzo tasting. What’s more is that Lesvos has never been as overrun with tourists as some of the other islands – making being on Lesvos an even bigger draw.

Literally there is loads to do, experience and explore on Lesvos…here we’ve listed only a few of the activities, happenings and businesses we love:
