We have a new page about the Church of Agios Vasileios in Mantamados.
I am looking for help to complete information about this and the other churches on Lesvos. Please, can you help? If you can please email me with text and photographs and I will do the rest.
Lesvos is famous as a destination for birdwatchers.
Right outside our window, we have a 2.6 metre tall sunflower. Every day a pair of Goldfinches come to pull juicy young seeds from the flowers. Lunch for them, lunchtime entertainment for us.
It is a warm summer evening.
You have a chilled glass of wine.
The stars above are shining.
The stars of the silver screen are also out, Cine Arion is open and your favourite new release is showing on the big screen.
Ever been to an open-air cinema? Well don’t sit in your room trying to watch a film on your smartphone or tablet, you’ll damage your eyes! Get yourself down to Cine Arion and see it at full size.
The only problem is that with the beautiful view of the castle behind 
you, you might not know which way to look.
Life can be full of difficult decisions.
The list of Lesvos blue flag beaches 2014 was published some weeks ago. We did not post the detail here because the blueflag.org website had one of the beaches in the wrong place on its location map. I originally contacted them 12 months ago to point out the issue. We have exchanged frequent very polite emails while they promised to sort the map out “quickly”.

28 May 2014 I visited the web site and the new list of Lesvos blue flag beaches 2014 was posted, but with Nyfida still in the wrong place (It was marked at Sigri which does not have a blue flag). Sadly I ran out of patience and sent a very abrupt email and posted the picture opposite on their facebook page together with some choice comments about our 12 month correspondence.
11:33, 28 May 2014 I received an email telling me that the problem has now been corrected. A quick check and behold, the map is now showing Nyfida blue flag beach at Nyfida and not Sigri. It has only taken 12 months, but with a little pushing from molyvos.eu they have, at last put it right.
You can view the map at the blueflag.org website by clicking here.
WOW!
I have just found stunning aerial videos taken around the coast of Lesvos.
Click on the locations below to see the Lesvos aerial video from some of my favourite locations.
The entire coast of Lesvos is covered. I keep finding beaches that I love and want to add to the list, so visit the website to see your favourite.
These videos show Lesvos from angles that most of us just don’t see and will make you fall in love all over again.
Now, will somebody do a video like this of Agiassos? PLEASE!
