The 2012 guide to Northern Lesvos is now available from the tourist office in Molyvos and many other places.
It has local information on places to go, things to do a list of 2012 events and lots, more.
If you missed picking up a copy of the brochure, you can flick through a pdf by clicking on the picture on the left.
The guide is produced by the Molyvos Tourist Association. Click here to visit their website.
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.
It’s not very often that I find myself on the ‘other’ side of the camera.
This was just one fantastic day for windsurfing and there was no other choice but to get out there and play.
I love living in Molyvos.
I am lucky.
I was invited into the house of Mrs Dora Parisi to photograpah her dolls and the 200 year old painted ceilings. The dolls are clearly made with love and a fine attention to detail.
The painted ceilings are over 200 years old and are very, very beautiful.
Thank you Mrs Parisi for making me feel so welcome and for letting me photograph your beautiful home.
I am lucky.
