Belonging to the Aegean islands, Lesbos is the third largest Greek Island. Lesbos is also known as the ‘Emerald Island’ with its tree-covered mountains, lush pine forests, hot springs, unspoiled beaches and rolling olive groves, not forgetting its abundance of wildlife. On the northern edge of the island is the beautiful village of Molivos - renowned for its picturesque harbour, hilltop Venetian castle, traditional tavernas, bustling flea market and cobbled streets. On the southern coast of Lesbos is Plomari, the ouzo capital of Greece. Plomari is home to several ouzo factories and the Barbayiannis Ouzo Museum. Set on the west of Lesbos is the small fishing village of Sigri, with its charming harbour, colourful fishing boats and traditional tavernas. No holiday on the Lesbos is complete without a visit to 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. This island has everything from luxury hotel complexes to small family-run establishments, simple B&Bs, apartments, studios and basic campsites. With so much choice, it’s easy to see why the island of Lesbos is the perfect choice for a relaxing sunshine holiday with family and friends.
