LESBOS

Lesbos, Greece’s third largest island, lies off the Turkish coast in the sparkling northern Aegean. Colourful coastal fishing villages delight every visitor to this island, but few tourists venture into it’s fascinating hidden interior. Those who do will find beautiful landscapes of poppy-dusted fields, hidden valleys, and perfectly preserved hill villages that have hardly changed for centuries. It's a land steeped in ancient traditions - even up to 20 years ago, people were buried with a coin in their hand to “pay the boatman” to take them across the legendary River Styx from the land of the living to the land of the dead.
