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.

Was heel leuke excursie , top begeleidster Anja, zeker voor herhaling vatbaar. Prima chauffeur , lekker eten

De gids kon heel enthousiast vertellen over het eiland. Ze gidste ons moeiteloos van de ene plek naar de andere. Het was een heel aangename dag.

Veel bijgeleerd over het eiland Lesvos en lekker gegeten.

geweldige mooie trip mooi mens was de gids Anja en de chaufffeur was geweldig goed .

De reisleidster kon veel vertellen over alles waar we zijn geweest.
