Sappho's Profile on a rock

This itinerary is a fantastic experience for all women interested in visiting Sappho's native island, Lesvos, an island full of history and a natural beauty that is absolutely breathtaking! Like its magical Petrified Forest, with 22 million years of history hidden among its tree barks, the charm of Lesvos is impervious to time. Beautiful beaches, excellent food, wild nature, and genuine island hospitality all come together on Sappho's island. In addition, Lesvos boasts two of the finest art museums in Greece! For Art enthusiasts, here's a chance to see the birthplace of Theophilos, the precious “primitive art” painter. Lesvos certainly deserves the title "Island of writers and philosophers." Together with quality time for Athens, inlcuding the City Tour of the most important monuments and sites of central Athens, this will be a week that will never be forgotten!
