We will be doing an Oceania cruise next May and stop at this port. Has anyone been there? What is there to do? Have been trying to gather information for our ports and can't seem to find out much information on this stop.

Lesvos (aka Lesbos) is much quieter than many of the Greek Islands. While there are some interesting ruins, the primary attraction (for me, at any rate) is in nature walks, etc. A quite interesting petrified forest, lots of wildlife (some excellent birding)..that sort of thing

Did you do these nature walks on your on or a tour? Do you have any information on these walks?

Thanks!
