Located in the north eastern Aegean Sea, close to the shores of Turkey, Lesbos (known as Lesvos by natives) is a Mediterranean paradise. This island boasts thousands of years of history and pristine beaches.
March brings the return of spring to Lesbos and warmer temperatures with it. The temperature begins to rise to a high of 15 degrees Celsius and a low of 8 degrees Celsius. The average rainfall drops sharply in March with an average of 75 mm over 9 days throughout the month. The tourism season begins in late spring so take advantage of the early spring rates.
Take a trip to a tourist destination less travelled. The Museum of Industrial Olive Oil Production in Lesbos is a unique experience for the foodie. Learn how the production of olive oil has changed over the years with old equipment and descriptions of the processes. This museum is great for those who like to understand where their food comes from and people with a knack for the mechanical.
Unwind and enjoy a meal sourced and prepared by local women entrepreneurs. The Women's Cooperative in Petra has been preparing local favourites in generous portions the way Greeks have been doing for years. This off-the-beaten-path restaurant is light on the décor because of the spectacular views from the restaurant.
For a hotel in an ideal location on the island, the Theofilos Paradise Boutique Hotel is it, located near the island's archaeological museum, the harbour, castle of Mytilene and centre of the city. This four-star hotel offers lavish accommodations in a traditional Greek neighbourhoodt is not an isolated beach resort. But you can still unwind in their sauna or traditional Turkish bath, called a Hammam. Underground parking, a swimming pool and pool bar are available on the terrace for guests.
