Visit Lesvos

Κάτω βέλος

Welcome to our island!

Dense forests, endless olive groves, high mountains, geoparks, thermal springs, rare wetlands, and unique beaches make up the enchanting landscape of Lesvos.

A land with a long history and rich cultural past, as reflected in its archaeological sites, museums, and architectural heritage of stone houses and narrow cobbled streets that hold a history of their own.

This is the birthplace of the poetess Sappho, Alcaeus, the popular painter Theofilos, and the writers Myrivilis and Venezis, while its beauty inspired many more figures of the arts and letters.

Its gastronomy holds a special place in this kaleidoscope of experiences. Unique flavours, traditional recipes, exquisite mezes, always combined with plenty of ouzo and the warm hospitality of the locals!

Indulge in the charm of the island, from one end to the other, from dawn to dusk, and discover your own authentic Lesvos!
