Fitting Lesbos into your route
About Lesbos
Lesbos is Greece's third-largest island, covered in more than 11 million olive trees and home to a petrified forest, hot springs and Plomari, one of Greece's most famous ouzo-producing towns. Mytilini, the capital, mixes Ottoman-era architecture with a lively university-town energy.
The island's size means real diversity: sandy south-coast beaches, mountain villages, and Molyvos, a picture-perfect hilltop town with a Byzantine-Genoese castle.
