LESBOS TOURS

If you're after some chill-out time and an ocean-going adventure, this boat cruise will tick all the boxes. Cast off early from Molyvos and we'll sail along the north coast of Lesbos, passing by Skala Sykaminia on route to Kagia. Here, we'll dock metres from its sandy stretch for a swim. Then, it's off to Korakaki for an on-board barbecue feast to the sound of traditional Greek music.

Buffered by the bright blue Aegean and blessed with bags of seafront scenery, northern Lesbos is almost made for boat trips. Cruise along the coast towards the tiny fishing village of Skala Sikaminia, where for three hours you can explore the pretty port, sit by the beach or drop into a waterfront taverna for lunch. It's a taste of traditional island life.
