Villages on Lesvos

Whoever comes in Lesvos island should visit the village Agiasos. This mountainous village has a particular green nature and excitable inhabitants.
















Its narrow and picturesque streets bring the visitor to another period of time.




















The Agiasos is a religious and intellectual centre, country mother of wood carvers and ceramists. It will satisfy many of your expectations, especially if they have to do with the religion or the arts (theatre, dance and music), the nature or the tradition.














The village Agiasos got its name from the inscription of the holly icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary that Agathon from Ierosolyma brought with him. The icon was named "Mother of God, Agia Sion".










The Municipality of Agia Paraskevi is situated in the centre of the island of Lesbos.

The architecture is combination of modern and rural.









In the surroundings of Agia Paraskevi there are the most important archaeological treasures of the island.














The Municipality of Agia Paraskevi is famous for the "Religious Festival of Tavros". Until now Agia Paraskevi has managed to remain intact to the effects of the massive tourism' s development. The efforts of the Municipality aim to the development of a qualitative tourism and the financial development of the area without affecting its cultural particularity and natural environment.
















Village Gera is situated among the green hills and the olive-trees.














It consists of 6 villages, which are the villages Papados, Scopelos, Mesagros, Plakados, Perama and Paleokipos. The Municipality of Gera is one of the 13 enlarged municipalities of Lesvos.



















Apart from its natural beauty, this geographical department has a great historical and cultural importance.

Gera is 20 kilometers away from the capital of the island. Communication is made with buses and it is regular. The trip from the capital to the Municipality of Gera is wonderful.




The climate of the area is very healthy with mild winters and fresh summers because of the north winds that blow in the area as well as in the whole Aegean Sea.

The old castles, such as the Paliοkastro, the Kasteli in Papados and the Castle in Meti, are some of the sightseeing I recommend to the visitor .
