This is about one third of the total population of the island. It is built amphitheatrically around its well preserved Byzantine Castle. Not very far from there, on the north-east side of town, one can find the Hellenistic Theatre with its superb acoustics and capacity of 10,000 people. Further in the suburb of Varia one can visit the Theophilos Museum.</p> <p>Twelve kilometers from Mytilene, near the town of Moria, one can visit the Roman Aqueduct that was built in the second century AD.<br> Going further up north by the east coast, thru a series of beautiful little villages one will arrive in the town of Mantamados, famous for its cheeses and the fine pottery. The next stop will be Skala Sikaminias, one of the most charming fishing villages one would ever see.<br> And then, at the northeast point of the island one will find the picturesque  village of Mithymna (also known as Molivos), with its mediaeval castle and the traditional architecture. Molivos is also the islands best known resort.<br> The association with Arts is appropriate enough, for it was here in Mithymna that the head of Orpheus is said to have been washed ashore after his dismemberment of the Thracian women. Another mythical citizen of Mithymna was the lyric poet and musician Arion. It has been said that he has been saved by the music-loving dolphin.<br> <br> <img border="1" src="image4.jpg" width="5" height="12" alt="Greek dairy products, travel, tourism, hotel, apartment, studio, rent a car, agency, office."> Only a short distance of 5 Km SW of Molivos the village of Petra can be found. Petra has one of the best sandy beaches of the island.<br> Again further south the village of Agia Paraskevi is situated. This village has a lot of old mansions and is known for the Bull Festival that has been celebrated since more than two hundred years. Near the village lay ruins of an ancient temple of Napaios Apollo and the ruins of an Ionian temple dated from the 3rd century BC. This temple was dedicated to Zeus, Hera and Dionysos.</p> <p>In the island's center, not far from Agia Paraskevi, lays the modern town Kalloni. It is famous for its sardines which are caught in the nearby bay called the Gulf of Kalloni. On this gulf one will also find the popular summer resort Skala Kalloni with its beautiful sandy beaches.<br> Also near the center of the island another well known town is Agiassos. This town is famous for its pottery. Going further south again we reach the towns of Plomari and Vatera which have the one of most superb beaches of the island, 10 Km long.<br> At the western tip of Lesvos, Sigri is a pretty fishing village with a nice little beach and a castle that goes back to the 18th century. Not far from there lies the Petrified Forest, dating back fifteen million years.<br> Finally, not far from Sigri, one will find the town of Eressos. Eresos has been the birth place of Sappho and Theoprastos. Its port, Skala Eressos, is a famous resort with a magnificent beach.</p> <p>Lesvos, as it can be seen from its classical history, its abundance  of poets, musicians, philosophers and lawgivers, was one of the great cultural centers of the Greek world. It was second perhaps only to Athens, in its influence if not in its power.<br> As a place for a holiday, for a rest or for quiet work, Lesvos is HARD to BETTER. It is big enough to permit that change of scene so necessary if one is to avoid "island claustrophobia". It has a further advantage that it is easy from here to organize a trip to visit Troy or to explore the coastline of ancient Ionia.</p>  <h2>Limnos island (Lemnos)</h2> <p><img border="1" src="image5.jpg" width="5" height="12" alt="Molivos, Molyvos, Mithimna, Mithymna, Kalloni, Kaloni, Plomari, Petra, Eressos, Eresos, Vatera, Sigri, Agios Efstratios and Ai Stratis."> Limnos is one of the most beautiful islands of the Northern Aegean Sea.<br> Full of plains and fertile with unexploited seas, rich fisheries, small, natural ports and long sandy beaches, life on the island is peaceful.<br> It was named after a great goddess who was worshipped there, a goddess whom Homer called Anemoessa.</p> <p>The local products have been famed since antiquity.<br> Cheese products from goat/sheep milk are still made using traditional methods. When the whey is ready, it is put into small baskets so the stripes mark it, thus giving the cheese its distinctive name "kalathaki" which means small basket in Greek. The fame of the island's wines has spread around the world while pottery, hand-woven items, and popular art items are also well-known.</p> <p>Myrina, the capital of the island, is situated to the west and has 5,000 inhabitants. The Byzantine castle, the beautiful beach of Romeikos Yialos (a Hellenic Tourist Organization beach) and cobbled streets are charming sights for the visitor.<br> On the NE side of the island in the area known as Kontopoliou is the sanctuary of the Kabeiri and the ancient Hephestia, a town that flourished during antiquity.</p> <h2>Agios Efstratios (Ai Stratis)</h2> <p><img border="1" src="image6.jpg" width="5" height="12" alt="pottery, woodcarving, weaving, handcrafted arts, dairy products, business, companies, local, traditional, eco, ecological, petrified, forest, co-operative, bank, Mytilene, Mitilini and Myrina"> The island of Ayios Efstratios is 21 miles north of Limnos, with approximately 300 inhabitants was named after the missionary who taught there.<br> It has beautiful coasts and long sandy beaches that alternate with steep rocks.</p> <p>Usefull Contacts:<br> <a href="http://www.lesvos-chamber.com">Chamber of Commerce</a>,<br> <a href="http://www.lesvos-bank.net/index.htm">Cooperative Bank</a>,<br> <a href="http://www.etal-sa.gr">Lesvos (Lesbos) Local Development Company</a>,<br> <a href="http://www.anel-sa.gr">Lemnos (Limnos) Local Development Company</a>,<br> <a href="http://www.gnto.gr">Greek National Tourism Organization</a>,<br> <a href="http://www.lesvos-travel.com">Island Travel Guide</a>,<br> <a href="http://www.greeknet.com">Greeknet</a>.</p> <p>| Developed by <a href="http://www.eurobit.com">EURObit</a> | <a href="http://www.lesvos-bank.net">A Co-operative Bank of Lesvos & Lemnos initiative</a> I <a href="index.htm" target="_top">HOME</a> |</p> </body>
