PLACES TO VISIT IN LESVOS

THE ISLAND OF OLIVE TREES

Lesvos is Greece's third-largest island and a world of contrasts, where a 20-million-year-old petrified forest meets medieval castles, Ottoman mosques, therapeutic hot springs, and the birthplace of the world's finest ouzo.

From the elegant capital Mytilene to the hilltop towers of Molyvos and the wetlands teeming with migratory birds, this island rewards every kind of traveler.

Board the ferry to Lesvos from Ayvalik or Aliaga and arrive at one of the most diverse and authentic destinations in the Aegean; the crossing takes 45-90 minutes from Ayvalik and about 110 minutes from Aliaga. See our Lesvos Island Guide for practical tips on exploring every corner of the island.
