Olive groves, ouzo from Plomari, hot springs and the castle village of Molyvos.
Lesbos is Greece’s third-largest island and one of its least touristy: eleven million olive trees, the ouzo distilleries of Plomari, hot springs and a petrified forest in the dry west. Mytilene is a lively university port below a Genoese fortress, and Molyvos is a village of stone houses climbing up to its castle, with the fishing harbour below. Birdwatchers come every spring.
