Full-day tour of Lesbos with monastery visit and lunch included

4.2/5
29 reviews

You'll get a real feel for the traditions and heritage of Lesbos on this full-day tour. After a quick pitstop by the wetlands to spot some of the native flamingos, you'll head to the town of Mandamados to see artists hand-crafting ceramics at a local pottery workshop. The traditional skills continue at a cheese factory, with the chance to taste a sample. Then, dive into the religious history of the island with a guided tour of the Monastery of Taxiarchis before trying a local doughnut-style delicacy, loukoumades. After that's whet your appetite, it's off to the mountain village of Lepetymnos for lunch at a traditional tavern. You'll round off the day with a visit to Karafillis Farm, where rare breeds of rescued goats and sheep roam free – the best views of the estate are from the balcony as you sip a local coffee.

    De gids had veel kennis en leuke interessante feitjes. Het was een mooie rit. We vonden de prijs te hoog voor wat je krijgt. De rondleiding bij het klooster hebben we niet gehad en ook niets gezien van de kaasfabriek, alleen de winkel. De farm was leuk en de lunch was ook goed.

    De reisleidster Anja was geweldig, vertelt veel en verzorgt alles tot in de puntjes. Geweldige chauffeurs, die weten wat ze doen. Hele fijne vakantie gehad. Heerlijke lunch onderweg en bij de kaasboerderij en bij de farm merk je dat de liefde voor het vak uit hun tenen komt. Top.

    Leuke excursie, prijs- kwaliteit verhouding niet goed. Leuke reisleidster, veel van hetzelfde als je ook de andere excursie doet. Perfecte lunch. Mooie route en leuke bezienswaardigheden maar het gevoel blijft dat we er teveel voor betaald hebben.

    De reisbegeleidster had heel veel kennis over het eiland en sprak vol passie over de dingen die we bezocht hebben. Ondanks de smalle weggetjes voelde ik me steeds veilig in de bus. Alles was goed georganiseerd enkel de volgorde van opstappen zou ik aanpassen. En de prijs is wat aan de hoge kant.

    Afwisselende excursie. Veel uitleg in de bus, weinig uitleg op de diverse locaties. Helaas was de eigenaar van de farm door omstandigheden afwezig. Hierdoor hebben we hier het enthousiasme van de eigenaar gemist. De inbegrepen lunch was goed verzorgd!
