On Monday we went to visit the ‘Mesa Sanctuary’. When we got there we were greated by
CLOSED MONDAYS ! ! ! A number of ‘bad’ words came to mind.
As we stood at the gate reading the sign, a man appeared. He opened the gate and with a gentle wave and an “Ella” he invited us in.
Why is this beautiful, tranquil corner of Lesvos not advertised more? They have recently finished building a museum area and planted the grounds. We walked through the site to the wonderful sound of bird song.
If you are visiting Lesvos, you should not miss visiting the Mesa Sanctuary.
As we left, we passed our host. I pointed at the opening hours and smiled, hoping that he would understand my ‘question’. “I thought that people might come” he said.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The site is now open on Modays and closed on Tuesdays. There is a €3 entrance fee.
We went to Leimonos Monastery near Kalloni to take some pictures of the peacocks. They were in fine voice and could be heard from some distance. They were however very camera shy and hid in deep shadows, thwarting every effort to capture the moment.
This little guy saved the day by coming and sunbathing on a tree stump for me.
Thanks buddy.
