レスボス周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Even though women aren't allowed to enter the monastery church for "traditional reasons," the old monastery offers many beautiful, interesting corners to explore. We couldn't figure out what's behind the 100+ small chapels. Information is scarce on the island. 😉

Start from Hotel Marilena, past the water reservoir. The griffelpad runs to a dilapidated building on the right. There, follow the path, passing in front of this building, to the right. There you'll find a wooden bridge, which turns into a long cobblestone path. This path ends at a sheep farm. The road continues past a military building (resembling an apartment building/hotel) towards Petra. From there, it's easy to find the coastal road, which continues all the way (the only road with a sidewalk) to Molivos.

Known as Ligona, a ravine with 18 watermills, was bursting with life until 1960. The ravine was the source of life for the neighboring villages by grinding their crops with the windmills’ churning waters and by irrigating the fields

The castle was built around 1373, during the Byzantine period, on the site of the acropolis of the ancient city, after the island of Lesvos was granted to Francesco I Gattilusio by John V Palaiologos. A few remains of the Byzantine structure are preserved in the north-west part. In addition to the extensive reconstruction by the Genoese, significant repairs and modifications were undertaken during the period of Ottoman rule (1462-1912), to which almost all the buildings preserved inside the castle belong.

The Moni from the 16th century is the largest monastery complex on the island.

Worth seeing monastery with churches in the courtyard (only for men) and an air-conditioned museum that you should definitely visit! Coffeehouse!

Often it is a little closer to the nice streets of the old town of Pètra. But that's exactly what makes the charm.

In Pètra really everyone finds "his" favorite tavern.
