Taxiarchis in mantamados
The monastery’s original church was built prior to the 18th century, but was completely reconstructed in 1879. According to legend, the relief icon of the Archangel Michael was moulded from clay and blood.
Sailing
The Offshore Sailing Club of Lesvos (OSCL) was founded back in 1993 and has as a main goal the promotion of sailing all around the island of Lesvos.
Stypsi
Located in the mountains, this traditional “hanging” village has two churches and the rock of Ai Yiorgi. With tavernas in the square serving scrumptious meat dishes and mezes, it’s the perfect choice, winter or summer alike.
The island
An excellent way to see the island is to divide it into sections, staying several days in area to sample its rare beauty at a leisurely pace.
So far, Lesvos has managed to keep package and mass forms of tourism at bay. And while it is hardly lacking in visitors, it still remains largely untouched, offering hidden treasures to those who seek them out. In the city of Mytilene and most other tourist spots, you’ll find a range of outstanding accommodations with small and mid-sized hotels to suite every budget. In addition, there are modern stylish hotels and old mansions that have been converted into atmospheric guest houses, offering quality year-round hospitality.
