LESVOS PRIVATE TOURS
A monastery on a wooded hill above Thermi, just north of the capital. The relics of Saints Raphael, Nicholas and Irene — martyred here in 1463 and rediscovered in the 1960s — make this the most visited pilgrimage site on the island.
Open hours in the capital — your time and your pace. We drive you between whichever stops you choose.
5 Guest-Favourite Stops in Mytilene
One of the largest fortresses in the Mediterranean, layered with Byzantine, Genoese and Ottoman work, set in pine forest above the harbor.
Three thousand years of the island's history. Aeolian temple capitals, Roman mosaics from the House of Menander, and finds from ancient Mytilene at its peak as one of the great Greek cities.
The folk paintings of Theophilos Hatzimichael — vivid scenes of Greek history and island life, made by a man who painted walls and taverna doors in exchange for meals.
The private collection of Stratis Eleftheriadis, the Mytilene-born publisher known in Paris as Tériade. Illustrated editions by Picasso, Chagall, Matisse, Léger and Miró.
The old market street running between the two harbors. The best walk in the city: stone-paved lanes, neoclassical facades, and the everyday rhythm of a port town going about its day.
A traditional thermal bath south of Mytilene, fed by natural springs warm enough to melt the tension away. The most visited thermal spa on Lesbos — and the right way to close a day in the capital.
