Molyvos on Lesvos, one of the most beautiful towns in Greece
Mithymna
The villa is situated 1.5 km from Molyvos, also known as Mytimna, is one of the most beautiful and well preserved villages of Greece. Already in 1965 the local government realised that only strict regulations concerning building permits and decoration of public spaces, could ensure that the unique atmosphere of the village. In Molyvos therefore you will not find massive constructions, concrete or neon lights. Just pure natural stone houses with wooden blinds, flowers, olivetrees and cobble stone roads.
A lot of activity
Every day the local fisherman will return to the harbour with fresh fish. The same night already you can find their catch of the day on your plate in one of the many cosy restaurants. From the harbour, steep mediaeval streets, filled with lovely terraces, artgaleries and souvenirshops, lead up to the remains of a Byzantine castle. The castle is open for public and in summer also used as a location for music and dance performances. From the castle you will have the most astonishing view over the village, the blue Aegean sea and the surrounded hills.
