08 09 10 18 19 22 & 2023 Greek Island Lesvos
We first visited Lesvos in 2008 and have returned in 2009, 2010, 2018, 2019, 2022 and again in 2023. We love the island and it's people. We always stay in the beautiful fishing village of Skala kalloni ~ For the first three years we stayed in The Pasphae Hotel ~ we now use The Aeolian Gaea Hotel. We hire a car and spend our days touring the island, taking in the scenic views and superb birdlife, over the years we have got to know the island very well. We also use this trip as a "chill out" holiday and often end up in the village square of Skala kalloni with a cold beer, or a delicious ice cream.
