The third-largest Greek island in the Aegean Sea, the ever-photogenic Lesbos has lots to see. Experience a trio of top things to do here in just one tour. There'll be a chance to visit Papadellis olive oil producer, a stop at the mountain village of Agiassos and free time to explore in Mytilini town. Daphne, one of our expert local guides, says "olives have been grown on Lesbos since the Bronze Age, so there's thousands of years of expertise and agricultural history for you to learn about during your tour."
The day starts in the traditional village of Agiassos, famous for its potteries and woodcarvings, the Virgin Mary church and the ‘cafenions' – Greek coffee houses. Here you'll have free time to explore and sip a coffee. Lesbos is famed for its top-quality oils, so at the Papadelis family's olive oil company you'll get the lowdown on the local tradition of olive cultivation and pressing.
The nearby olive groves are located in Loutropoli of Thermi which is one of the most renowned regions of quality olive oil production in the world, though the company we'll visit is not in the same location as the olive groves. To finish the day you'll have some free time in Mytilini town to make the most of your free time for shopping or perhaps to grab some lunch.
