Mytilene is situated on the south east coast of the island of Lesbos, and is the capital of the North Aegean Region. There are many ferry routes departing from the port, most of them crossing to neighbouring Greek Islands. Mytilene is the epitome of a port city; tourists and passengers hurry around the vibrant area surrounding the harbour, taking in the fresh sea air whilst browsing the souvenir shops. The port is somewhat of a focal point in the city, hosting several effortlessly cool bars and restaurants that attract a crowd from the first thing in the morning till nightfall. However, unlike many other port cities, life doesn’t stop at the harbour – Mytilene is famous for its thriving nightlife, offering tourists the chance to drink some local wine and dance till the early hours. For anyone looking for nonstop action then Mytilene is the place to go. Whilst Mytilene may have gained a reputation as a party city, there is a lot more on offer than the abundance of nightclubs. The city centre is rich in cultural landmarks, the most impressive being the stunning Gateluzzi Castle, an ancient castle that is surrounded by green hillside. For an extensive day of sightseeing, also make sure to witness the Church of Agios Therapon with its unique structure, and afterwards head to the Statue of Liberty which is conveniently located next to the port. Luckily for visitors travelling via ferry, there are two bus stations located at the harbour, one at the northern tip which runs to the urban areas and one in the southwest corner that runs into the city centre. Alternatively, there are taxis readily available and a couple of rental car companies operating around the city.
Honest fishermen, one ATM machine and only one small settlement – few places in Europe are as wonderfully simplistic as Psara. The port and fishing industry offer the sole production after the rocky, jagged landscape proved too difficult to cultivate crops, and the relative distance between neighbouring islands means that Psara has remained largely untouched by tourism. Sparsely populated areas and welcoming locals make the island perfect for anyone hoping to escape the stresses of the modern world, especially in the summer when the sun shines down on the golden sands and azure blue waters. Sunbathing and walking are the only two viable pastimes available on Psara, though if you’re looking for peace and tranquillity then that’s all you need. Many choose to grab a bottle of water, put on their hiking shoes and begin exploring the exotic lands, finishing their day by watching the sunset on top of the towering hillside. After a day of fairly strenuous exercise, the restaurants will satisfy any hunger with the exquisite seafood dishes that have become well known around Greece.
There are no rental car companies and only one petrol station on the island, so travelling in a car can prove quite troublesome. Most choose to walk or cycle.
