By Grace Viera /MESPOM 2009Greece is an amazing place to visit. Its natural resources, cultural sites, fabulous cuisine, and friendly people make traveling to Greece an unforgettable and unique experience. Greece is characterized for being one of the most touristic places in the world. People search for different things: fun, relax, peace, knowledge, all this things can be found in Greece.
Lesvos Island in particular is well known for bird watching and lesbian tourism. Nevertheless, this island has a lot more to offer than that. In Mitilini there is a beautiful port with lots of restaurants in which tourists can enjoy a backgammon game in a trendy cafe or have a walk to the old castle in the top of the city. It is also worthed to visit Molivos and its handicrafts shops or Sikamnias and its ships and church.
Another highlight point in a visit to Lesvos Island is Sigri. This is a perfect place to rediscover nature and why not to find yourself. Its peaceful streets, beautiful beaches, and friendly people can make this place a perfect place for vacations or why not to live in. Sigri offers its visitors the opportunity to see many attractions from a Petrified Forest to an ancient castle. Nevertheless, what is impressive about the place is that is so small, far, and pristine but at the same time has everything: excellent restaurants, internet, museums, beaches, and churches, anything you can ask for it is there. Sigri is like leaving surrounded by the quietness, peaceful and beautiful landscapes that are rear in this time but with all the technology and supplies that you need. From handicraft stores, through internet, hotels, bars or anything you can ask for.
The opportunity of opening the balcony window and watching the sea in the morning, eating in a restaurant in the shore of the sea, talking with locals despite the language barrier, watching a football game at night, walking in the sea sand, getting a dip into clean crystal water was unique. Watching a sunset or a sunrise, feeling the breeze, all of these things can make a vacation in Lesvos wonderful. Sigri in particular is a place to which you always want to go back. It is perfect to enjoy with family and friends or simply to escape from the rush of the city.
Let’s hope that relative pristine areas like this may be preserved, there is a need to protect this areas. The only way to keep enjoying these earth paradises is to protect them, respecting local traditions and do not disturbing locals lifestyle while supporting and consuming local products and helping to make tourism to this places sustainable.
