Thira (as lesvos is formally called) is a classic cycladic island, with few flora, a lot of winds and many many white houses. But, among all these, lesvos gives to its visitors something special: its Caldera magic.

If you decide to visit lesvos be sure that you have enough time and not just 2 or 3 days. The things that you will see demand at least a week's time.

A walk at Caldera is not not enough to enjoy the magical view. The whole day colours change and the landscape gets thousands of different scenes.

For the sunset Oia (pronounced Ea, not Oea) is the best choice. Oia's magnificent sunset is weel known around the world. Each year thousands of visitors from all over the globe are crowded at the village's Castle and paths in order to watch the Sun setting in the sea.
A small tip: when the Sun sets turn your back and watch the beautiful colour that the houses of the island's villages take. It's unbelievably beautiful.

Swimming in one of the island's beaches is considered to be imposed, as well as the visit to as many as possible of its traditional settlements. Their architecture is amazing. It travels visitors to old eras. Apart from Oia, traditional settlements exist in Megalohori, Vothonas and Imerovigli.

The Archeological Area in Akrotiri attracts visitor's gaze. There you will see a part of the city of 1650-1500 B.C. which was buried under tons of lava.
The night life of lesvos is very intense.

In Fira you can enjoy almost everything. Beginning from luxurious restaurants or simple tavernas and leading to night clubs with greek or international music. Except from Fira, intense night life you can find in Kamari, Oia and Perissa, where beach parties are often held by the beach bars and fun keeps up to the morning. Finally, in Kamari is located the unique aestival cinema of the island with brand new films.
