Lesbos (or Lesvos) is a Greek Island located in the northeastern Aegean Sea. It has an area of 630 square miles with almost 200 miles of coastline, making it the third largest Greek Island and the largest of the numerous Greek islands scattered in the Aegean. The island is mountainous with two large peaks, "Mt. Lepetymnos" (968 m (3,176 ft)) and "Mt. Olympus" (968 m (3,176 ft)), dominating its northern and central sections. The island's volcanic origin is manifested in several hot springs. This island is verdant, aptly named "Emerald Island", with a variety of flora that belies its size.

Since ancient times Lesbos has stood out for its important achievements in culture and the arts and letters. Artists and writers of the island – from the time of Sappho and Alcaeurs down to that of Myrivilis and Elytis – have been numbered among the major creative artists whose names are known beyond the Borders of Greece. Furthermore, the natural beauties of the island, thankfully, are still unharmed from human intervention and provide a prevailing atmosphere which sustains that rich intellectual and cultural heritage. The unique unspoilt beauty of Lesvos is an astonishing contrast to lush splendour of the rest of the cosmopolitan islands with its mysterious forests, dramatic coastline, tranquil sunsets and rugged mountains.

Lesbos has always been the place where many cultures meet, as they passed through this place, they left incredible traces which blend harmoniously with the landscape. The tiny beaches of Lesbos and its unrivalled sunsets complement the island's most important natural resource, its olive groves which cover 40% of the island. Side by side with these features, are the works of man down the centuries: Aeolian column capitals, houses of incomparable architectural beauty and traditional industrial buildings find it easy to co-exist with works of art of incalculable value. Lesbos is a naturally stunning island with rich cultural heritage, inextricably bound up with the warmth and heartfelt hospitality of the people of the place. It is very perfect for those that want to experience real Greece.

Lesbos's climate is mild Mediterranean and this allows visitors to explore the island in perfect conditions. The mean annual temperature is 18 °C (64 °F)), and the mean annual rainfall is 750 mm (30 in). Its exceptional sunshine makes it one of the sunniest islands in the Aegean Sea.
