This small fishing village on the south-west coast of the island is the ultimate choice for a chilled-out Greek getaway. Life here centres around the pristine, three-kilometre sand and shingle beach where you can sunbathe and soak up the rays or grab a fancy cocktail and enjoy the sea views. The village itself has an authentic feel, thanks to its traditional tavernas, waterfront bars and family-run shops. The picturesque harbour is the heart of the resort, creating a relaxed setting that's ideal for soaking up the slower pace of Greek life.

    Explore the island

    Much of Lesvos is lush and green and has a real paradise-like feel to it. There are great hiking and walking routes if you’re up for the challenge or if you prefer lazy days, why not seek out one of the hidden-away thermal spas? The island's capital, Mytilene, is also within reach, making it a great choice for a day of sightseeing.

    Sample the cuisine

    Fish and seafood are big around these parts and when it’s caught fresh that day and served in the seafront tavernas, it would be silly to miss out on trying it. Alongside seafood, keep an eye out for local specialities such as ladotyri cheese, which is produced on Lesvos, and a glass of the island's famous ouzo. Those with a sweet tooth should also try vrasma, a traditional syrup made from figs that's unique to the area.
