Well known for its production of ouzo, Greece’s national liquor, Lesvos also produces a wide range of delightful cheeses.The unique local varieties of fish and shellfish, such as scallops (“xtenia”) and baby sardines were first studied and categorized by Aristotle in the Kalloni Bay. There are more than 11 million olive trees on Lesvos and the olive oil produced on the island is of extraordinary quality and has won numerous awards worldwide. There are many unique delicacies that stand out in Lesvos cuisine: The “sfougato” (omelette with zucchini), “sougania” (stuffed onions), chickpeas with mutton, “ouzatoi” meatballs (with ouzo), and “giouzlemedes” (fried cheese pies). Lesvos is an island full of flavors! After all, it's still the Aegean!

This weekend in Lesvos "belongs" to Agiassos, where locals and visitors can join the Chestnut Festival!
The traditional settlement of Agiassos is located on Mount Olympus. Walk through the cobbled streets, visit the old church, have a Greek coffee in a kafeneio, buy a local product, follow the walking trails around the mountain which offers spectacular views. After all, it's still the Aegean!

Walk and discover Lesvos, which is one of the best ways to have an up close and personal experience with the island’s history, culture and traditions; with its varied landscapes, volcanic rock formations, wetlands and waterfalls; with its forests, gorges, groves, meadows and beaches; with its birds and animals and more than 1400 plant species; and best of all, with its people. The well-developed and continually growing network of trails allows you to walk or cycle from one end of the island to the other and also provides many circular routes along the way. Whether it’s a cobbled trail laid by monks hundreds of years ago, a groomed dirt path, a paved rural road, or a narrow donkey trail, you’re sure to be overwhelmed by it all.

After all, it's still the Aegean!

Lesvos’ spectacular indented coastline is approximately 320 kilometres long. So it should come as no surprise that there are quite a few beaches here. Some small and secluded, some long, wide and…secluded. 320 kilometres means there’s always a spot available that will suit your mood: rocks, pebbles or sand; narrow or wide; a tiny cove or a long stretch (Vatera, the longest beach on the island, is actually 8 kilometres long!); organised, with beach bars and tavernas, umbrellas and lounge chairs, exciting activities and people, or primal, completely untouched, tranquil and relaxing with not a soul in sight. Regardless, two things are certain. The sun. And the crystal clear, cool and inviting waters... After all it's still the Aegean!

Tomorrow the day in Greece is dedicated to Holy Mother (Panagia), and today hundreds of people from around the island of Lesvos walk to Agiasos and Petra to worship and fulfill their vows.
Apart from them, many of the old Churches, Chapels and Monasteries of Lesvos are still in use. Some have become destinations for pilgrimages while others carry on the spiritual traditions of long ago... After all, it's still the Aegean!

Photo: Panagia Glykofilousa sits on top of a giant rock formation in the center of the town of Petra. You reach the top of the rock by climbing the 114 steps carved into stone.
