Kees and Joke, about Sigri...
It is with great pleasure that we write on this blog about our stay in Sigri during the last week of May 2012.
We had a very good time in a beautiful apartment of the Villa Anastasia.
Because
it was our intention to walk in the environment, we followed some
promenades of the North and South beaches. The views on Sigri and the
surrounding mountains are spectacular because of the vastness of the
landscape in which the sea and the rocks seem to struggle as well to
embrace each other at the same time. Furthermore the flora of specific
Mediterranean plants and parts of petrified trees, combined with
animals, like small turtles and several species of birds (even an Owl)
made us very happy to be there. 
Every
evening we went to Café Kentro to have access to internet and a chat
with the owner Mr. Andonis Choitis and some other guests. Besides his
conversations, we enjoyed very much his special teas, coffees and - not
to forget- those delightful pastries. We could not stay long enough to
taste all the different flavors of food and drinks that were offered. We also enjoyed walking through the bright small streets of Sigri.
One
of the nicest shops was that of local jeweller Mr. Chatziandeou, who
stayed for several years in our country (the Netherlands) to expand his
professional expertise. There we bought one of the many very small boats
that decorate the walls of his beautiful shop. We consider these boats,
besides the jewellery he makes, as real works of art, unique in the
world. He collects in wintertime tiny pieces of driftwood at the beach
and makes boats of it. The models have the original shape of the fisher
boats of Lesvos.
It is one of our most special souvenirs we ever bought.
Completing
our stay we visited the National History Museum that gives an
impressive insight in the volcanic history of Lesvos and natural history
in general. We were very surprised and pleased to see a school class of
children practising excavations of petrified wood by a very good
imitation of professional practices and - by doing so - were learning
while playing and vice versa.
Besides
Sigri, we visited three other places on Lesvos, but we did not met
local people in a more personal way. May be the reason for this is that
Sigri was less populated with tourists (as far as we could see).
In any case we like to think that ‘Sigrians’ are the most open and friendly people of all Lesvos.
As
we look at the small boat on the wall in our living room, we will
remember these people and of course their friendly town in its
impressive surrounding landscapes.

Book your Sigri holidays TODAY!
The rich cultural history of the region of Sigri includes two of six ancient towns of Lesvos: Antissa (birthplace of the musician and poet Terpander), and Eressos (birthplace of the poet Sappho and the great father of modern philosophy Theophrastus, who is also considered the father of modern ecology). The acropolis of Eressos, the early Christian Basilica of Agios Andreas, the Ipsilou, Perivolis and Pitharios monasteries and the Sigri castle are some of the most important monuments of the region. Also to be seen are many examples of folk architecture such as bridges, watermills, traditional olive presses as well as various stone structures for farming which bear witness to the long presence of mankind in the region, as well as a unique folk tradition which remains alive due to the efforts and high spirits of the area’s inhabitants.
An exceptional area, home to the winds, able to charm and bewitch you, Sigri is worth reaching!
