Greece, the birthplace of modern philosophy, is known for its beautiful islands, sandy beaches and winds salty with the mist from the Aegean Sea. Lesbos, one of the largest of the Greek islands, is no different. With its Mediterranean climate, rich history and exotic cuisine, Lesbos is the perfect spot for those looking for a beautiful island vacation.
First stop on our list would be the Petrified Forest. At €2 euros to enter, this is easily one of the cheapest and most beautiful sights in all of Lesbos. This forest, formed from the fossilized remains of plants, is a wonderfully peaceful attraction where visitors can admire some of the most miraculous phenomena in nature. This stop will provide hours of wonder, while at the same time keep some weight in your wallet.
The next items on our list happen to be free to see. These iconic sights and landmarks around Lesbos are rich with the island’s history and make perfect stops for photo ops:
Molivos Castle, Panagia Glykofilousa, Kremasti Bridge and Mytilene Castle.
The food in Lesbos is some of the freshest and most exotic you will ever see. With items such as kydonato, a pork and quince stew, and sougania, it would be hard for someone to not find something they like. A nice dinner at Kalderimi, a quaint, not too expensive restaurant in Petra, would be the perfect end to the day.
