Getting around on Lesvos
It is very large, just think that it covers 1633 square kilometers and therefore very demanding to visit. take advantage of the time in the best possible way and be able to see at least the most important things to visit.
Did you know that Lesbos was the birthplace of the poetess Sappho of her famous for her poems that told of her poignant love for her companions? In fact, the word lesbianism derives from the name of the island.
Having said that we must not be discouraged, when you are on holiday you must be free and above all carefree, for this reason we think that giving you as much information as possible is a godsend so as to get organized and not waste precious time. Here too "losing" is certainly a reductive term, time on vacation is just time and that's how it should be!
Given its important dimensions, you will have already understood that even the distances to be covered are sometimes very important so it is better to be comfortable and free as much as possible.
Undoubtedly the best means of transport is the car but nothing prevents centaurs from opting for a two-wheeler or for the more 'discovery' with public transport:
Car: the road network is highly developed and widespread and this is in itself an excellent thing. Let's say that to reach certain areas the state roads are quite small and winding as well as quite busy especially in the summer period (there are many Greeks who choose Lesbos as a holiday destination), the positives certainly are the landscapes and the views that will be the reward for the commitment to driving.
Motorcycles: always by virtue of the fact that the surface is very large, it is always better to opt for a cylinder capacity of at least 150 cc, both for convenience and for time. A particular attention to driving obviously.
Public transport: as in almost all the Greek Islands, the ideal would be to stay in the capital Mytilene where most of the trips to the island's towns are concentrated. Bear in mind that times are considerably lengthened so pay close attention when consulting timetables and destinations in order to better organize your day trip.
An idea to be able to explore Lesvos and if you have a few more days would be to allow yourself a part of the holiday in the north and a south so as to be able to use the means in the best possible way and above all shorten the distances by gaining precious time.
