Lesbos holidays

About Lesbos

Lesbos is a stunning Greek island located in the Aegean Sea and is the third largest of the Greek islands. Holidays here offer a wealth of natural beauty, from tree-covered mountains and lush pine forests to hot springs, unspoiled beaches and rolling olive groves, as well as a variety of wildlife. On the northern edge of the island, the picturesque village of Molivos awaits, with its harbour, hilltop Venetian castle, traditional tavernas, bustling flea market and cobbled streets. To the south is Plomari, the ouzo capital of Greece, home to several ouzo factories and the Barbayiannis Ouzo Museum. On the west of Lesbos is the small fishing village of Sigri, with its charming harbour, colourful fishing boats and traditional tavernas. The island's capital, Mytilini, is a busy coastal city built around an old harbour, with a maze of cobbled streets, bustling markets, traditional cafes, and interesting museums. The old part of the city contrasts with the modern town with its busy shopping centres and hotels, and is also home to the Byzantine Mytilini Castle. With a range of accommodation options from luxury hotel complexes to small family-run establishments, B&Bs, apartments, studios and basic campsites, Lesbos is the perfect choice for a holiday with family and friends.
