Aigeira (the dark one), Imerte (the desired one), Lasia (the one dense with trees), Makaria (the blessed one). Over time all of these names were connected to the fertile and truly desired - by countless conquerors and suitors - land of Lesvos, the third largest island in Greece, with eleven million olive trees and famous the world over. Lesvos.

A land that invites you to discover it. If you surrender yourself to its charm you will be richly rewarded, as surprises will come one after the other. Picturesque seaside hamlets and mountain destinations that make you forget you are on an island. A rich interchange of scenery, from the lush green of olive trees, pines, walnut trees, and oak trees, to the lunar landscape of the western side. Imposing mansions with neoclassic, baroque, neo-gothic, belle epoque, and renaissance features, as well as traditional stone-built homes and farmhouses. 

Lesvos is not a land for visitors in a rush, searching for the myth of wild night life and a hurried tour for some quick snaps on their camera. Lesvos - the beginning and end for cultures that lasted three thousand years - has a rich natural environment, unique local products, a close connection to the arts, letters and folklore. Asimakis Panselinos, a man of letters born and raised on Lesvos, wrote in his own, elegant way: “Here springs the hidden fountain that nourishes the spirit of mother Greece”. Any traveler who stops to drink from this spring will realize that Lesvos is not just great in size. It is great in everything.

Myth and history. Beaches even for the most demanding. Unyielding people who consider hospitality as their personal business. Opportunities for relaxation or frantic fun. And a landscape different from the others. This is Lemnos.

Volcanic in its geological origin, it is also metaphorically an invisible volcano that boils. Beneath its seemingly quiet surface, it hides treasures that will be discovered only by anyone who is fed up with the obvious cosmopolitanism of the other Aegean islands and is in the mood for exploration.

With air connection from Athens and Thessaloniki, but also with easy access from Kavala, in a few hours by boat you are on the island where Hephaestus found refuge, after the dispute that Zeus had with the jealous Hera. Mysterious, with the shadow of Kaveri still falling on it, prehistoric, with Poliochni, the oldest city in Europe dating from the fifth millennium BC, pious, with the famous sanctuary of the great goddess of Lemnos, Hephaestus.

A small island on the edge of the Aegean, marked by Greece’s modern political history, as it was a place of exile, Agios Efstratios – Ai Stratis to the locals – is blessed with the beauty of its landscape and, mainly, the fortitude of its people.

Some days arrive to discover the thirst for communication, kindness and kindness of the locals. Without greed and reservations, without superstition and hidden motives, they will open their hearts and the map of their place.
