Looking to delve deeper into Lesvos culture? Then a trip to the capital, Mytilini, could be just the ticket! It’s one of the world’s most ancient cities, founded in 1053 BC, and a hub for popular poets and philosophers.
Picturesque parks, traditional stone houses and an ancient amphitheatre are just some of the highlights here. If you’re in the mood for food, make a beeline for Ermou, famous for its fish market and local tavernas.
Architecture more your thing? Head to the Turkish quarter, home to the Yeni Tzami Mosque and a Byzantine fortress. And don’t forget to make the most of the shopping opportunities!
