Many visitors to Lesvos only see Mytilene on the way to and from the airport. In my humble opinion, this is a mistake. It has a fascinating history and is a bustling island capital. This is reflected in the number of places around the city that are worth visiting.
If you don’t believe me, check out this e-guide to Mytilene.
The guide is a couple of years old but is still a great list of must-see locations as little has changed. Print it out, bring it with you, tick off the places you have visited and then send me a report [please].
Do you know of any other guides to Lesvos that can help visitors make their plans? Please share them here so that people get the most out of their visit.
Please share with your friends.
I have that e-guide downloaded to my smartphone – the numbered descriptions apparently are backed up by information boards (with the relevant number reference) at the various locations described. I only discovered this guide since my last visit to the island so am looking forward to exploring many of the places mentioned. I don’t think I will ever run out of new places to see on the island!
I found the following English guide very informative – it is about 3 years old now, but not much information changes apart from maybe opening hours etc

Lots of great photographs to whet your appetite.
I found a link to a newer edition of the guide I linked earlier – the 2010 one, but it appears only to be in Greek. A very good reason to get back to some language learning!
