| − | Greek Island holiday destinations offer literally hundreds of resorts ranging from those providing all of the facilities of mass tourism to remote places with nothing more than a few village rooms. Islands also range in dimensions from ones that may be walked around in a few hours to ones which have many major towns and countless villages.

| − | Lesbos (also spelt Lesvos) may be the third largest Greek island and has almost 200 miles of coastline to provide beach-loving holidaymakers. It's located in the north-eastern portion of the Aegean, just a few miles from the Turkish coast and twelve hours by ferry trip from Athens. Fortunately the ferry trip is unnecessary because Lesbos has its own international airport.

| − | No holiday resorts on Lesbos can be defined as being "spoilt by mass tourism" but the most popular are with package holiday companies. Of these, Molyvos is among the most popular but even there, you'll be able to have a laid-back, away-from-it-all vacation.

| − | The entire island abounds in natural beauty and its spectacular, indented coastline is made up of numerous sand and pebble beaches interspaced with lots of secluded coves. The island's interior is filled with olive groves that produce a few of the world's finest olive oil. You can even find bottles of top "Italian" olive oil which are produced from olives grown in Lesbos!
| |
| − | | |
| − | In which the olive groves end, beautiful forests of Mediterranean pine begin and on the western side from the island, you can even find the earth's second largest petrified forest.

| − | Like many Greek islands, Lesbos is extremely mountainous. Its two major peaks, Lepetymnos and Olympus are gone 3100 feet high and dominate the centre from the island. Due to the volcanic origin of Lesbos, several hot springs can be found around the island.

| − | The term, Lesbian arises from Lesbos. The reason being it was the birthplace of Sappho, the ancient Greek poetess. Her poems contained expressions of homosexual love. Sappho is thought to possess been born and lived in Eresos. This really small town is a mile approximately inland in the holiday resort of Scala Eressos. Although, relaxing and laid back, Scala Eressos includes a certain vibrant quality and attracts an array of visitors. These include many gay women who wish to enjoy women-only holidays or attend the annual Women's Festival.

| − | In addition to a good selection of bars and tavernas, Scala includes a wonderful sandy beach, part of which is designated as a tolerated naturist area.
| |

| − | The streets of the resort are closed to traffic which means you don't have to worry about the street safety of your children. In which the village street ends, some cafes and tavernas have been built along the beach by extending them out onto the sand. If you have kids, you can sit in one for a drink whilst the children participate in the sea, still safely around the corner.

| − | The beach and village are framed in a beautiful setting of a green, fertile valley between arid mountains. Quite a lagoon at the back of the beach may be the the place to find terrapins, frogs and seabirds. Children love this area and therefore are often so fascinated by the terrapins that it is difficult to persuade these to leave. In the united states side around the resort tortoises can often be seen plodding their way along stony scrubland. However the most fascinating wildlife of has become the resident pelicans. These can regularly be seen waddling round the tavernas with the hope of some free fish. The 2 birds have become so tame they get up to tricks on the beach too, snatching tubes of suntan lotion as well as books from shocked sunbathers. Sometimes the pelicans will throw the items playfully into the air and then catch them. When an item as big as book drops into the bird's huge gullet, fear for that creature's safety momentarily replaces the humour inspired by the performance. But there's no reason to be concerned and also the pelicans quickly realise the object has no vitamins and minerals, fetch it back up, and drop it around the sand. Not everyone sees the funny side from the pelicans' behaviour however, especially the person who returns from the swim to find their beach towel occupied by one of them. But for the onlookers, this usually results in an extremely amusing shooing away scene.

| − | For any naturist vacation in Lesbos, the resort of Scala Eressos is the best destination to stay at. Elsewhere around the island, you may be able to find additional beaches where naturism is practiced however they is going to be remote and unofficial.

| − | The best way to reach Scala Eresssos is as simple as flying to the airport at Mytilene, the island's capital. This airport provides a little bonus that you would be challenged to find anywhere else in the world. After checking set for your flight home, you'll be able to sit within an open air area which overlooks the sea. Here you can bask away the rest of the moments of your Greek island holiday watching the manoeuvres of the Greek navy which are often seen just from the not too distant Turkish coast or just enjoy the lapping of the sea within the rocky beach that separates the airport from this.
