Twelve million olive trees have protected Lesvos from mass tourism. In the 60s and 70s, olive oil production sustained its ninety thousand residents, who didn’t turn their homes into tourist accommodations. This low development is now a major advantage. Lesvos has no big hotels or artificial settlements, just authentic Greek villages filled with local charm. Visitors can immerse themselves in genuine Greek culture, enjoy stunning landscapes, and relax in a serene atmosphere, making Lesvos a refreshing escape from more commercialized destinations.
Lesvos might not be a major tourist destination, but getting here is easier than you might think.
While direct flights are limited, there are numerous daily flights from Athens and some from Thessaloniki. Both cities are well-connected, making it simple to reach Lesvos from almost anywhere. Direct flights from: England, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium. Daily ferries from Athens.
We know many of you prefer to avoid air travel to save the planet (and we applaud you for that!). But don't worry, you're heading to a certificated eco-friendly hotel, so you can balance things out.
Even if ticket prices seem a bit higher, don't worry. Lesvos remains an affordable island, and you won't need much money to enjoy the charming tavernas and beautiful scenery.
