Molyvos or Mithimna : in the old Greek – is one of the most attractive small towns of Greece. Natural stone houses, medieval stairs and small alleys are crowned by the mighty medieval Genoese fortress, Turkish fountains and Byzantine walls. A walk through the plant-covered market street Agora down to the picturesque harbor becomes a foray into the eventful history of the island. Architecturally protected due to its historical importance as an ancient seaport – dating from before the fall of Troy – Molyvos carries its past with quiet dignity. But Molyvos is not only about history. Since the sixties, it has been a favorite refuge for romantics, writers and artists, drawn by its gentle pace and inspiring light. As the sun sets, the stone façades glow in warm shades of gold, and life unfolds slowly in traditional taverns and cafés overlooking the sea. With uncrowded beaches, small shops and a timeless atmosphere, Molyvos offers the perfect setting for relaxation, reflection and understated beauty.
Info : Molyvos, also known as Mythimna is one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Lesvos located 60 km west of Mytilene, the capital of the island.
