Lesbos is the third largest island in Greece and a fascinating travel destination off the beaten tourist paths. The island in the northeastern Aegean surprises with a diversity of landscapes that is unmatched: from the petrified forests of Sigri, which are among the most significant geological monuments in Europe, to the hot springs of Polichnitos, and the endless olive groves that transform the hinterland into a silver-green sea. Over eleven million olive trees grow on Lesbos – the island is one of the most important olive oil producers in the Mediterranean region.

The capital Mytilini welcomes visitors with a lively harbor promenade, neoclassical mansions, and a powerful Byzantine fortress. The picturesque fishing village of Molyvos in the north, dominated by a medieval castle, is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Greece. Skala Eressos on the west coast delights with a long sandy beach and an alternative atmosphere. Lesbos is also the home of Ouzo – the distilleries of Plomari produce the best aniseed spirit in Greece, and a tasting tour is a must-do.

For birdwatchers, Lesbos is a paradise: the salt pans near Kalloni attract thousands of flamingos and rare migratory birds in spring. The island's thermal springs, including the hottest in Europe at Polichnitos at 87°C, offer natural wellness since ancient times. From Germany, Lesbos can be reached by direct flight in summer in about three hours or via Athens. A rental car is highly recommended as the island is extensive and the most beautiful spots are scattered.
