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

4/5
7 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 kaasfabriek was eerder een kaaswinkel. Niets gezien. Het klooster was eigenlijk een kerk. Dit kan beter vervangen worden door bezoek aan vissersdorpje bij Mandamados. De farm daarentegen was zeer de moeite waard met duidelijke uitleg en aangename gastheer. Ook de lunch was zeer lekker en uitgebreid. Toch wel genoten.

    Leuke dag gehad met goede rustige chauffeur en een leuke/goede reisleidster die veel vertelde onderweg over lesbos. Pottenbakkerij, kloosterbezoek en dierenopvang en lunch onderweg, goed eten!, waren leuk. De stop bij de flamingo's was ook erg leuk. Veel en leuke inhoud dus voor deze trip..aanrader voor vak.gangers.

    Alles was leuk en leerzaam. Helaas, de kaasfabriek mocht door de mond en klauwzeer niet worden bezocht, enkel proeven mocht.

    slecht was de excursie naar flamingo's en de kaasfabriek (mochten we niet in), iets beter was het bezoek aan de kerk, de lunch was niet al te best en het bezoek aan de dierenopvang was matig (niet zo interessant)
