Lesvos Island Greece is one of the
most spectacular landscapes in the world. It is
world known and attracts thousands of tourists every
year. In Ancient Times, the island of Lesvos was called Strongili
which means "circular" in Greek. Around
1500 BC, the volcano exploded and the center of
the island sank. Today, the villages are perched
on the edge of impressive cliffs and offer a panoramic
view over the submerged volcano.
This site of Lesvos provides much information about the island:
flights, ferries, car rentals, bike rentals, scuba diving, bars,
night clubs, real estate and many more such a large range
of hotels.
Situated 2km from the capital city Mytilene, on the road to the Airport, we find the Loriet Hotel, 20 meters from the beach and within walking distance of the famous Terriade and Theofilos Museums. The Mansion, one of the largest and most ornate of the Classic old Houses of the island stands prominent in its beautiful garden setting.
The beautiful island of Lesvos is rich in picturesque
and traditional villages. Those attractive places are
hanging on the slopes of mountains or nestled in lovely
bays and offer an authentic atmosphere, magnificent local
architecture and some fine examples of ruined Venetian
castles and Byzantine churches and chapels.
Life in the villages of Lesvos seems to have stopped and
times flows peacefully and slowly.
Long sandy beaches with crystalline waters are endowing
the various huge bays of Lesvos. Several of the beaches
of the island are fully organised and propose sun beds, umbrellas
and sea sports activities.
Others are totally unspoiled by any touristy equipment
and left to their natural beauty.
This section provides information about many beaches of the island.
Night life in Lesvos is very satisfying. The capital of
the island, Mytilene, and its many touristy resorts and
beach resorts are full of bars, clubs, and piano bars
proposing all kinds of music, drinks and atmosphere. Greek
clubs playing exclusively Greek music are also available.
All those places are staying open all night long, until
the early morning.
