Lesvos lies opposite to Asia Minor, in a distance of 5 to
8 miles. It has an area of 1630 square kilometers and a coastline
of 370klm. The warm climate of the island, the rich soil and
the plentiful waters have created the all green Lesvos that
the visitor enjoys today.
The big areas planted with olive-trees are cut by dense pinewoods.
The essence of beauty is spread on the island. Everywhere
the sense of serenity and moderation. In the deep silence
of the afternoon, in the hot calm mornings and the silver
gulfs where ancient cultures passed and got lost.......
