This island is a real gem for those who want to combine history, nature and a peaceful vacation. It is a popular destination for families, but also for travelers who want to explore places away from the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lesvos is famous for mastic, top quality olive oil, medieval castles, unique villages and untouched beaches. Every trip here brings an opportunity to pass through historical traces from ancient times, Byzantine monasteries and castles, to modern resorts with traditional taverns and warm hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The villages stand out in particular. <strong>Molivos<\/strong>, <strong>Peter<\/strong>, <strong>Kaloni<\/strong>, <strong>Skala Sikamnias<\/strong> and of course <strong>Mytilene<\/strong>, where visitors can enjoy a mix of authentic architecture, cultural monuments and the colorful life of the local population. Don&#039;t miss to visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Medieval castles<\/strong> Mytilene, Molyvos and Sigria, which for centuries guarded the island from pirates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Petrified Forest in Sigri<\/strong>, formed 15-20 million years ago, today one of the few geological wonders under the protection of UNESCO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ipsilo and Saint Raphael monasteries<\/strong>, spiritual centers of the island and important pilgrimage sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lesbos is a destination where history, nature and tradition perfectly intertwine - an island that offers peace, but also plenty of opportunities for exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"859\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Plaza-Anasos-na-Lezbosu.png\" alt=\"Pla\u017ea Anasos na Lezbosu\" class=\"wp-image-7148\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:600px;height:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Plaza-Anasos-na-Lezbosu.png 859w, https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Plaza-Anasos-na-Lezbosu-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Plaza-Anasos-na-Lezbosu-768x504.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">A brief guide to the text<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Contents\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/en\/ostrvo-lezbos-u-grckoj\/#Kako_doci_do_Lezbosa\" >How to get to Lesbos<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/en\/ostrvo-lezbos-u-grckoj\/#Smestaj_plaze_i_znamenitosti\" >Accommodation, beaches and sights<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/en\/ostrvo-lezbos-u-grckoj\/#Istorija_%E2%80%93_Ostrvo_Lezbos_u_Grckoj\" >History -
