Lesvos island is one of the most enchanting islands of Greece. It is volcanic in origin and has kept an unspoiled character. On our new tour, we discover geologic highlights, such as the hottest thermal springs of Europe (85-90 C!), an impressive petrified forest and spectacular outcrops of old dykes, lava domes and lava flows.
Lesvos has a very varied landscape, ranging from barren rock deserts to lush mountain forest and vast olive groves. It is known for its beautiful villages and monasteries and its local products, including the famous drink ouzo.
