welcome to island of Lesvos – GREECE
Lesvos or Lesbos lies among the Aegean islands in the north east, close to the Turkish mainland. Greek Islands in this part of the world are a long way from the mainland and, in general, a long way from each other. Lesvos has the advantage of having its own airport and so avoids the long ferry journeys that most of the others entail. Big and beautiful, Lesvos, It is the third largest Greek island after Crete and Evia and, in parts at least, has its arms stretched wide to embrace the package tourist market.

The islanders also have a strong and proud identity of their own that is marked by its long cultural traditions.

Specific attractions are sightseeing, quaint villages and some splendid beaches.
