Stop 1
Petra Village
A short walk in the village beneath the rock — stone houses, kafeneia along the shore, and the Aegean opening up at the end of every street.
Stop 2
Panagia Glykofilousa
A small chapel perched on a 40-metre volcanic rock in the centre of Petra. One hundred and fourteen carved steps lead to the top — one of the best photography spots in Lesvos, with the whole bay opening up below.
Stop 3
Vareltzidaina's House (optional)
An 18th-century merchant home — one of the few Ottoman-era mansions on the island still standing in its original form. Painted ceilings, carved woodwork, and a glimpse of how the wealthy class once lived in northern Lesvos.
Stop 4
Molyvos Castle
A Byzantine fortress reshaped by the Genoese and the Ottomans, set high above the village. The walk up is short — the view across the Aegean to the Turkish coast is what stays with you.
Stop 5
Molivos Harbor
Cobbled lanes, fishing boats, and tavernas along the water. The natural place to slow down — coffee at Molivos harbor, a long lunch, or simply time to breathe before we continue east.
Stop 6
Eftalou Beach
A pebbled cove at the foot of the mountains, where natural hot springs flow into the sea. An optional visit to the thermal spa is available for anyone who wants to soak before heading back.
