GreekLesvos is an ideal destination for those who want to discover the natural beauties of each place through hiking or trekking, during their holidays.
The uniqueness of the island’s morphology with the strong contrasts, challenges you to discover its hidden harmony. Trails through olive groves, pine forests, ravines, waterfalls, chapels, stone trails as well as volcanic areas, especially in the west, disclose the magnificence of its natural environment.
