Simplicity reigns in this package with two destinations taking center stage: Athens, the capital of Greece and Lesvos, the country's third largest island, lying opposite Asia Minor. In Athens, you can take advantage of the half day city tour to see the most prominent ancient monuments in one go! You'll have plenty of leisure time to explore on your own and discover the wonderful amalgamation of antiquity and modernity in every nook and cranny of the city. This rare phenomenon gives Athens a unique identity that enchants every visitor.
Your next destination lies in the Northeast Aegean. A testament to diversity and alternative lifestyles, Lesvos is filled with castles, monasteries, catacombs, basilicas and even a mosque, all of which are pieces that complete the mosaic of its rich past. Nowadays, the island is home to numerous fishing villages, wonderful beaches and an extraordinary number of sightseeing opportunities. Although tourism infrastructure has developed vastly, Lesvos has managed to retain its traditional vibe. The most important of the island's numerous attractions are the Castles of Molyvos and Mytilene - with the later mentioned as early as in Homer's epic poems, the Petrified Forest which is a testament to nature's wondrous power and on the tentative list to become a UNESCO world heritage, the Monastery of Saint Raphael which has been a famous site of pilgrimage for generations and the Roman Aqueduct whose presence alone betrays the geopolitical importance Lesvos has had throughout the centuries.
Three days are barely enough to scratch the surface of such a big and complex island, so if you wish to stay in Lesvos longer we'd be happy to accommodate you.
