Mólyvos, Lesvos NEW
One of the best kept secrets of the Mediterranean, Lesvos is an unspoilt paradise. The charming hill town of Mólyvos with its cobbled streets and picturesque harbour is an ideal base from which to discover this beautiful island.
Detailed information
| Classic Walking programme |
 |
On these holidays there is a choice of two guided walks of varying difficulty each day.
ITINERARY
Day 1: arrival day |
|
Easier Walks: The beautiful coast of Lesvos is never far from our walks and from Mólyvos itself
we’ll wander along donkey trails through the hills to the seaside town of Petra. We can also take
a boat to quaint Skala Sikaminias and then enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Aegean coastline with stunning views of the Turkish mountains.
Harder Walks: The longer walks include a mixture of coastal and inland trails. We’ll walk through
the olive groves above the Gulf of Kalloní to visit three historic monasteries and enjoy a stunning
panoramic trail around the mountain top to visit the tiny hill top town of Lafiónas.
Day 8: departure day
Free day options include relaxing in picturesque Mólyvos, or the idyllic hot springs on Eftaloú’s beach. |

Each year we listen carefully to the views of our guests and make improvements to our walking programmes. Further information will be sent to you prior to your holiday; however the final selection of walks will be made by your walking leaders.
