Lesvos
I love this island! Lesvos is also known by the name of Mytilini, the name of the main city, which is the port where most people will arrive either by boat or plane though most will probably spend their holidays elsewhere, and many will return again and again and again. The island has the best food in Greece, especially seafood. and is famous for its ouzo, olive oil, cheeses and sardines. Skala Erressos is the birthplace of Sappho. It's one of the best beaches in the world and a popular family destination as well as alternative travelers, spiritually-minded people and romantics. It also has some of the best restaurants on the island and cafes and bars right on the sea. Molyvos is built around a medieval castle. Many foreigners, some visiting, some living there. There's a yoga center and other spiritual and cultural forums. Plomari is famous for having the best ouzo, and the strongest as well as beautiful beaches. Kaloni is the bird-watching capital of Europe and has more wildflowers then anywhere in Greece. The best sardines too. There are thermal spas around the island which people say can cure a variety of ailments. (They worked on my back). The beach at Vatera is about seven kilometers long one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Sigri is the place you go to get away from it all, a town on the western tip of the island with great beaches and restaurants and a cool breeze even on the hottest days. It's a popular destination for wind surfers and is close to the world's largest petrified forest. The island is big.
