Why Lesbos
The Petrified Forest
Twenty-million-year-old sequoia trunks, still standing where they grew. A UNESCO Global Geopark.
Ouzo started here
Plomari has been distilling since the 19th century, and most of its distilleries take visitors.
Sappho was born here
In Eresos, in the 7th century BC. Skala Eressou has been a place of pilgrimage ever since.
The Gulf of Kalloni
One of Europe's best birdwatching sites — flamingos on the salt pans every spring.
Hot springs
Polichnitos, Eftalou, Thermi, Lisvori — among the hottest waters in Europe, in vaulted stone baths.
Eleven million olive trees
The third-largest Greek island, carpeted in groves that were once worked by steam-powered mills.
