Mytilene

There is so much to see in this great city. The old and the new combine together beautifully, offering you a great travelling experience. In the birthplace of Alcaeus, the lyric poet and Pittacus, the philosopher, there are many things worth visiting: The Castle and the Ancient Theatre, the Archaeological Museum, the Yeni Mosque, the old Ottoman Baths, the Dome of Agios Therapon, the old market with the antique shops and the new market of course where you can find almost anything. Ermou street is full of life any day of the year and is a great attraction not only for tourists but locals from all over the island. The harbor is also full of shops, restaurants and bars and along the city the nightlife is popular.  You must not miss the Museum of Theophilos the Naïve painter and the Museum – Library Stratis Eleftheriadis – Tériade, both in the area of Varia, towards the airport. The area is full of beautiful mansions from the 19th and 20th century.
