EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF LESVOS
Hidden gems of Lesvos island

Birdwatching at the Kalloni wetlands

More than 252 species of birds find refuge in Lesvos’ Kalloni wetlands. Not surprisingly, it ranks among Europe’s ten most important habitats for avian diversity and rarity.

 

Relaxing at the thermal springs of Eftalous

Between the brushwood-covered rocks – geological sculptures emerging from the sea – can be found the thermal waters of Eftalous. The water from the spring emerges from underwater springs at a temperature of 43.6-46.5 degrees Celsius and is renowned for its therapeutic properties.

Witnessing the sacrifice of the bull

A pagan throwback to ancient times, this island ritual is still enacted every July in the village of Agia Paraskevi. A healthy bull is decorated with wreaths of flowers and finery before being sacrificed and then cooked and eaten, amid parades on horseback, dancing and feasting for three days.
