Love a local tipple? You’re in the right place here, as Lesvos’ farmers create around half of the world’s ouzo supply. But that’s not all – groves are heavy with plump olives and fishing boats trundle in and out of the harbours everyday with fresh catches. Sample all these goodies and more at the traditional tavernas peppered around the island.
Nestled in the eastern Aegean, Lesvos is a sun-kissed island designed for relaxation. Unwind on the pebbly shore of Eftalou Beach – you won’t be able to take your eyes off the sapphire sea sparkling ahead of you. Anaxos Beach and Petra Beach are equally dazzling.
Terracotta-topped Molivos, a centuries-old town with roots in the Ottoman era, is ready for its close-up. Wander along the cobbled lanes, lined with stone houses and leafy trees, before venturing towards the castle-capped harbour. Speaking of the castle, this 14th-century wonder presides over Molivos and has amazing views out to Turkey from its ramparts.
This teeny village, strung along the north coast of Lesvos, offers a blissful beach break to all that come here.
Surrounded by the glittering Aegean Sea, this gorgeous Greek town is a stunner.
Tucked away on the Bay of Kalloni is a little village named Skala Kallonis.
Lesvos’ beaches are total knockouts. If you’re looking for a pebbly patch, Eftalou is the ideal spot to sit back and watch the waves tumble in. It’s dramatic in looks and houses the Mineral Baths of Eftalou too. Meanwhile, the golden sands of Anaxos and Petra twinkle away.

Between the towns around the island, you’ll find various museums, medieval castles and art galleries waiting to wow you. But head into the rural areas and you won’t be disappointed either. For starters, the ancient Petrified Forest of Lesvos is an outstanding feature of the Sigri area and has been a treasured monument since the 80s.

While Molivos is a town with a warren of cobbled streets, studded with quaint old buildings, you’ll also find traditional touches in the capital, Mytilini Town. It’s packed with charm and there’s a harbour too, so you can enjoy strolls before heading off on a boat trip. Who’s for exploring salt marshes or hot springs?

Among the classic Greek dishes and meze platters that you can bank on, Lesvos is renowned for two exports. There’s no doubt your salads and breads will be drizzled in rich olive oil, while the locals like to wash down their meals with a shot glass of ouzo.

Fancy yourself as a souvenir-hunter? Keep your beady eyes peeled for olive-based products. You’ll find everything from soap to mini bottles of olive oil, so have some coins at the ready. In central Mytilini, there’s a bustling marketplace to explore and various remarkable antique stores as well.

Across Molivos, Anaxos, Petra and some of the larger towns, you’ll be privy to an array of low-key tavernas and bars that promise fun nightlife scenes. Friendly beachfront bars, espresso and cocktail digs, places even with a few neon signs – it’s a laid-back affair all over, but well worth making the most of.
