FOR 2009

Lesvos 23 – 30 April 2009

A week on this celebrated Greek island

The third largest island in the Aegean, Lesvos is an island steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Lesvos, often also known as Lesbos, depending on the Greek translation, is the ancient home of the great story-teller Aesop and the poet Sappho and occupies a prominent position in Greek culture.

Situated in the southern Mediterranean less than 5km from the Turkish coast, Lesvos is magnet for migrating birds as well as supporting an exciting variety of breeding species.

Lesvos is an island of two contrasting halves. The east of the island is clad with olive groves (Lesvos has an estimated 12 million olive trees), pine forest and sweet chestnut woodland while the west of the island is of volcanic origin with spectacular landscapes and home to the famous Petrifed Forest.

We stay at Madonna Studios in Vatera on the south coast of Lesvos. From here there will be local walks as well as a base to explore the island. There is the added attraction of taverna meals, a great feature of holidays in Greece, included in the holiday price.
