2. Beaches, Sunsets, and Tranquility
Lesbos is renowned for its pristine beaches, perfect for lounging under the sun or indulging in water activities. Head to the picturesque beach town of Molyvos, where colorful houses line the narrow streets leading to the waterfront. Relax on the pebbly shores of Eftalou or visit Petra, a charming village with a sandy beach boasting crystal clear waters.
A highlight of any visit to Lesbos is experiencing its mesmerizing sunsets. As the sun lowers over the turquoise sea, the sky is painted with vibrant hues of orange and pink. Witness this magical spectacle from Skala Eressos, a popular seaside resort, or the peaceful Gulf of Kalloni.
3. Embracing the Gastronomic Delights
Lesbos is a culinary paradise, with its gastronomy crafted from fresh local ingredients and traditional recipes passed down through generations. Indulge in seafood delicacies, such as octopus, calamari, and mussels, at the quaint tavernas scattered across the island.
Be sure to taste Ouzo, the traditional Greek liqueur, which Lesbos is renowned for. Visit one of the local distilleries and learn about the intricate process of creating this beloved drink.
4. Exploring Lesbos Off the Beaten Path
Lesbos offers plenty of opportunities for adventure and exploration. Hike through the lush trails of Mount Olympus, the highest peak in Lesbos, and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. Discover hidden waterfalls and natural springs, perfect for a refreshing dip.
Those seeking a unique experience can visit the picturesque village of Agiassos. Famous for its folk art and handicrafts, this charming village will enchant you with its quaint houses and winding cobbled streets.
Lesbos has become an increasingly popular destination among LGBTQ+ travelers due to its open-minded and inclusive atmosphere. While the island itself isn't solely focused on LGBTQ+ tourism, the locals are welcoming and accepting of diverse identities.
Lesvos Digs Deep is a community-driven initiative that supports and empowers the LGBTQ+ community on the island. They provide resources and information for queer travelers, ensuring a safe and inclusive experience for everyone.
Lesbos is a destination that offers something for everyone, making it the perfect getaway for girls seeking adventure, relaxation, and exploration.

A Girl’s Guide to Lesvos is the first ever attempt to present the island of Lesvos in a guidebook format in a way that connects it with the “L wor(l)d”. Tzeli Hadjidimitriou, who was born and grew up on the island, guides you through Lesbos with a women’s perspective. She is one of Greece’s most successful photo-journalists and has published eight books and countless travelogues in Greek newspapers and magazines. In this guide, in addition to the beautiful photos, the artistic design, the extensive information about the place and its inhabitants, nature, culture and traditions, women will find the links between the present and historical memory. All that we know about Sappho, her poetry and her world, is presented here, finally giving the answer as to why Lesbians are named after the island and the truth about all the stories that have been written about the great poet in the last centuries, offering a more sensitive look at the emotional manner in which she communicated with her students. It also discusses recent history, the early years of the women’s pilgrimages of the 1960s, the situation with the locals, the atmosphere between the lesbians, the reactions of both elements and how we arrived at today, where we can go around Skala Eressos, such a conservative place, holding hands and swimming nude in the sea.
