Mytilene Around
& About
 We travel south
on the east coastal artery to Mytilene.
Most foreign visitors, having driven through the unfamiliar and busy streets
from the airport to Mytilene and out again, are little inclined to return to Mytilene.
This journey through hardly shows off the best aspects of the main city on the
island but Mytilene is always worth a visit.
 In Mytilene
there are several places to visit: Two
Archaeological Museums, the Castle, the Ancient Theatre, the Yeni Tzami, The
Cathedral of Agioi Theodori, the Church of Agios Therapon (built
1860) and the pedestrianised shopping street Ermou where you can shop for
anything you might want. A place worth visiting in the promenade is LESVOSHOP where a wide variety of Lesvos and
Limnos products can be bought.
 Heading again
out of Mytilene to the village of Varea,
visiting the Theofilos Museum and the Teriade Museum is a very enlightened experience.
Not far from there you can visit the Church of
Taxiarhes at Kagiani. We
will continue to Koundouridia where we
can have lunch at the harbour taverna. Leaving Koundouridia we will follow the
coastline of the Gulf of Gera until we reach the top of the Gulf , where we can
visit the Thermal Springs at Therma for
a telexing and therapeutic dip in the healing waters.
On our return to Vatera we
will go through the village of Kerameia,
where visiting the bakery is always a rewarding experience. At a short
distance from Kerameia, after the turning to
Ippios we will visit
the restored old watermill “Mylelia”,
in full working order, where durum wheat is still being ground. More than 50
different air-dried organic pastas can be bought on the shop on site and other
organic products. There is also an old donkey –powered olive press to see, and
a small church of Agios Panteleimon. A
very old tree church is near there too.
Back on the
main road we continue until we reach Karini,
with the shaded riverside and taverna. The naïve painter Theofilos spend some
time there living in the large hollow plane tree, over to the left of the
buildings. From there we drive straight on to Vatera, through the picturesque
valley of Agios Dimitrios.
