 LANDSCAPES OF LESVOS
- By Brian & Eileen Anderson
ISBN: 1-85691-237-X
Sunflower Books
is pleased to announce a new addition to their immensely popular "Landscapes" series. The island of Lesvos is a paradise for walkers. Cloaked with forests of chestnut and oak, the hills and mountains are riddled with little known ancient trails and cobbled donkey paths, many of which form the walks featured in this new guidebook.
Lesvos was the birthplace of famous figures from history, the poetess Sappho and the father of botany, Theophrastus, amongst others. The island becomes a riot of flowers in the spring and is famous for its wild orchids (as many as 65 species) with its own special endemic, Orphys lesbis.
The island boasts two of the finest natural phenomena in Europe: the Petrified Forest at Sigri and the Palaeolithic fossils of extinct fauna and flora species found at Vatera. It is a treasure house of very early ancient remains from the 7th century B.C. onwards, its period of greatness.
With the publication of
Landscapes of Lesvos, the island is set to become an exciting new walking destination in the Mediterranean.
Publication date: March 2004
