Lesvos
«When there are only few rich people in our time, then it is because there are a few only who are able to see. Especially with regards to the Island of Lesvos – an island which provides such rich food to our eyes – you could say that someone must be blind or out of his mind, if he is not deeply moved by its light.»
(Quotation by Odysseas Elytis, Nobel Prize in Literature 1979)
This green island in the eastern Aegean sea is the third largest of Greece with many different landscapes – a micro cosmos of its own. Traditional villages nestle in the mountains with the feel of authentic Greek life, off the beaten tracks of mass tourism, covered with olive groves and vast pinewoods. Legend has it that this is where music first came to man. Poetry, songs and dance still play an important role. From Sappho and Alkaios to Myrivillis , Odysseas Elytis, Eftaliotis, many of Greece's important poets come from this lovely island. The island has largely managed to preserve its original character to this day.
One visit is not enough to discover the island, Lesvos is simply amazing and has been a favorite destination for romantics, artists and birdwatchers.
The island is blessed with healing hot springs, a big variety of birds and wildflowers, award winning beaches, a petrified forest, medieval castles, fine museums, and last but not least it is famous for its unique cuisine with traditional dishes and local fish.
