It has a large number of neoclassical buildings, public and private homes. Among these, the Prefecture of Lesvos, the old town hall, schools and various houses and hotels that dot the city. The Baroque church of San Therapon, with its imposing style, overlooks the port. Its construction began in the 19th century and was completed in 1935. The port of Mytilene offers navigation services to the nearby islands of Lemnos, Chios and sometimes Dikili Ayvalik in Turkey. It also serves the continental cities of Piraeus, Athens and Thessaloniki. The island has a series of attractions, including cultural (ancient remains), geological, gastronomic and religious. Lesbos was also known, in ancient times, for the quality of its wines, its timber, for ships and for its famous light blue marble. Do not miss the superb Kastro, a fortress built by Emperor Justinian in 527. It houses the ruins of the Gatezulli palace and a Byzantine cistern. If you are a history enthusiast, the archaeological museum is full of mosaics and numerous Neolithic objects. The island's airport is named after the contemporary poet Odysseus Elytis. Lesbos (in Greek: Λέσβος, Lesbos) is a Greek island located in the north-eastern Aegean, in front of the coasts of the Anatolian peninsula. The main center is Mytilene. It is famous for having given birth, in the 7th century BC, to the lyric poets Alcaeus and Sappho. In Sappho's verses we find the exaltation of the beauty of femininity and eros between women, hence the term lesbianism. With an area of 1,630 km² Lesbos is the third largest Greek island by surface area and the eighth in the Mediterranean. Characterized by a conspicuous coastal development (320 km), it has a population of about 90,643 inhabitants at the 2001 census[1], a third of whom reside in the capital Mytilene.
