Lesvos has a very varied georgraphy. The North has high cliffs, the middle is mountainous, the east has fertile plains and there are salt flats in the west. The beaches are mainly rocky or gritty sand, the best being in Skala Kallonis and Skala Eressou. Lesvos is still a fairly traditional island that has not yet been overdeveloped or ruined by tourism, and is famous for its ouzo and olive oil.


Nightlife is mainly quiet, although the larger resorts have a handful of bars and discos. Restaurants offer high quality food and wine and seafood is reasonably priced. During the day watersports are available along with horse-riding, tennis and volleyball.
