It doesn't matter the reason I come here, I ALWAYS enjoy the loooong beach, nice cafes and tavernas and swimming in crystal clear water.
There are activities like sea sports at the one side of the beach and a nice, quiet, seaside road to a small church at the other side.
Fantastic view during sunset hours!

The Monastery is built on top of Ordymnos Mnt (634 m) and offers an awesome 360o view to the western part of the Lesvos Island.
It lies 7 km out of Antissa Village and 80 km from Mytilini city, on the way to Sigri.
It is known to be the oldest Monastery on the island. It was probably built around 800 AD (Byzantine era) and is structured like a castle. It has been sacked and burned multiple times and it has been restored to its current form in 1971.
The monastery hosts a small but interesting museum of religious artifacts and relics.
It is not accessible after sunset.
You should not expect to find something significant in terms of services or activities.
It is just an unmissable landmark of the island and I advise you to plan a short visit on your way to Sigri Town. The sunset is a must see.
It is an enchanting remote sanctuary, standing lonely in the rugged landscape throughout the centuries.

We paid 30 Euros pp, took almost 2 hours & saw a sea urchin & some anchovies. So disappointing - everyone on trip agreed if we'd have known we would never have gone on it. Wasted time & money.

What is a summer without a summer open air cinema. Since 1958 a family cinema at Skala Eressos. Cine Sappho is here every summer to accompany you and everyone who want to have a magic night under the night sky. You can also enjoy the bar at the cinema. Furthermore the place is more than a cinema because it is taking part of the local community as they organize their concepts bringing closer the tradition with the local people and the tourists also. On the other hand it's one of the places that the Sappho Women international festival Organize events.

Petrified forest, is actually a four different Forests with approximately 25hectares each. The one which is two kilometers before the museum is closed, because belongs to another ministry. So, don't bother try, go straight to the museum where the other Forests begun.
The museum offers a unique experience and tons of information about our planet earth. Definitely, worths your attention.
