Welcome to
There's a reason we've been coming here for 20 years
Sitting in the sparkling turquoise Aegean Sea, Lesvos is a warm and sunny emerald gem of Greece. It is a whole continent in miniature with spectacular beaches, high mountains and wild forests.
Due to the island's size - Greece's third largest island - there's something for everyone. Beach holidays, water sports such as snorkelling and kayaking to sunset boat trips or fishing excursions.
Lesvos has some of the most scenic views and picturesque sights out of all the Greek islands. The landscape varies from arid to verdant lush forests with blue skies and even bluer seas. It is a popular destination for nature lovers as it is a paradise for birdwatchers with lots of rare species and even pink flamingos!
There's lots of hiking and mountain biking trails to keep adventure-seeking holiday makers busy and we can help arrange tours such as wine tasting experiences and cooking classes.
Much of Lesvos food is farm to fork and you can eat local food in most of the family-run restaurants who will tell you where the produce you are eating comes from!
Here at Real Lesvos we aim to give our customers an authentic Greek island experience. In the map below you'll find an ever-increasing list of our favourite things to do and see on Lesvos!
This gorgeous detached cottage is situated on a small-holding, in a quiet location in the pretty village of Petra. There are two spacious bedrooms with views over fields, olive groves. The living space is open plan with high, exposed wood ceilings and a fully-equipped kitchen. There are spacious terraces and peaceful views across the Lesvos countryside and the famous church of Panagia Glykofiloussa (Our Lady of Sweet Kisses) on the very top of the rock in Petra.
It’s an ideal family retreat with play equipment and chances to meet and feed the chickens, goats and horses that live here on the farm. Your host Mirka is so welcoming to all Real Lesvos guests and cannot do enough to help you have the best holiday here.
The cottage is just a 10 minute walk from the main square in Petra village and 900m from the nearest beach, meaning you can have tranquility and yet great access to all the amenities of the village.
