About Robin

We started visiting Lesvos such a long time ago we can't remember when. We simply fell in love with the island in general and Molyvos in particular. In 2005 we bought some land and tried to manage the building of our house from the UK. Holidays became site visits and our house was [mostly] completed in 2007. In 2009 we sold up in the UK and moved to Molyvos. This is now our home and we count ourselves amongst the luckiest of the lucky. I am a member of the Molyvos Tourist Association, providing photographs for their brochures and general publicity. Most of my time is spent on activities to encourage tourism or taking photographs of one of the most beautiful places on earth. I also produce calendars and sell them on-line through Lesvos Calendars. Please visit and have a look. You can also see more of my photographs on my  Robin Sanders Photography website.

Thomas Cook are now showing flights to Mytilene:Thomas Cook Airlines

  • TCX 1812 leaving from Gatwick at 07:40 on Saturdays
  • TCX 2354 leaving from Manchester at 11:45 on Wednesdays

These are in addition to the Monarch flights:
Monarch Airlines

  • MON 7826 leaving from Gatwick at 05:50 on Saturdays
  • MON 1874 leaving from Manchester at 06:15 on Saturdays

Now before you start to cheer loudly, check the prices. The Wednesday flight from Manchester is currently very expensive. This is a positive move and I am sure that prices will settle down once the new schedules become established.

Let us all hope that this is a long term commitment and not just a single season experiment.

Today the European Commission announced its decision to approve the acquisition of Olympic Air by Aegean Airlines.

The Chairman of AEGEAN Mr. Theodore Vassilakis said:

“As of today our obligation and commitment to serve our passengers and our country become even greater. While growing in size we also have to further improve our services to be more effective in the support of all Greek regions and ensure competitive access even to the smallest Greek island. The economies of scale will allow us to offer more competitive fares on our domestic network, especially for the small islands. At the same time, the synergies will allow us to support an improved growth rate for our international network, both from Athens and the periphery, contributing substantially to the development of Tourism and the Economy “.

The company will host a press conference on October 23, 2013, following the share purchase, to present its customer offering and development plan as well as its 2014 network plans.
