Nestled in the northern Aegean Sea between Greece and Turkey, Lesbos, a Greek island, is a Mediterranean jewel. This island has thousands of years of history, culture and natural wonder for travellers to explore.
Despite September marking the beginning of fall for most of Europe, Lesbos still has warm, dry weather. The high temperature reaches 27 degrees Celsius and the low dips down to 18 degrees, usually at night. Rainfall increases slightly but it is minor. Only 11 mm of rain falls throughout September, usually in 5 different days.
Get away from the crowds of tourist still on the island in September and stop into the Lesvos National History Museum near the Petrified Forest. Located in Sigri, on the western coast of Lesbos, the museum is a wonder for anyone passionate about science or their natural surroundings. Learn about the wonders that science creates as well as the Petrified Forest on Lesvos.
With a spectacular view of the Molivos Harbour, the Octapus restaurant is a traditional family tavern. Dine outdoors on fresh, local ingredients often caught from the water you're dining near. The restaurant offers a variety of menu options: traditional Greek fair like pastitcio and moussaka; grilled meats like pork or chicken souvlaki and fresh fish like lobster, anchovies and mackerels.
Rest at the end of a long day exploring the island in a local, family-run hotel: the Imerti Resort Hotel, located in Skala Kallonis on the southern coast of Lesbos, is quaint, private and relaxing. This family owned and operated resort values green practices as well as hospitality. You'll find the best of modern and traditional comforts in this resort, complete with a pool, Jacuzzi and spectacular views.
