Lesvos

Lesvos (alternatively spelt Lesbos), the third largest of the Greek islands, is a little different from the rest, being largely self-sufficient thanks to its commerce in olive-growing and fishing. Despite being a popular summer holiday destination it remains unspoilt and natural, untainted by tourist trappings, and its size precludes it from becoming overcrowded or claustrophobic like some of the other Greek resort islands.
