Lesbos Essentials

Lesbos features the UNESCO-protected Petrified Forest and its accompanying Natural History Museum in Sigri. The island's history is preserved in the medieval castles of Molyvos and Mytilene, and the clifftop Panagia Glykofilousa church in Petra. Plomari serves as the global center for Ouzo production, housing specialized museums like Barbayanni. For coastal scenery, the island offers the long sandy stretch of Vatera and the volcanic coastline of Skala Eresou, while the 9th-century Ypsilou Monastery stands as its oldest ecclesiastical site.
