Yes, since Lesbos (Midilli) Island is within the borders of Greece, it is subject to visa requirements. Our guests holding a burgundy (ordinary) passport are required to obtain either a valid Schengen Visa for their travel dates or a Greek Islands Visa on Arrival, provided that they submit their documents completely to our agency in advance. Green (special) passport holders are exempt from visa requirements. To ensure smooth entry to the island, all passports must have at least 6 months of validity, and the passport must definitely not contain a TRNC entry stamp.
Greece's official currency is Euro (€). International credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) work smoothly at Lidl Market, which we will visit on the 1st day of our tour, at the Mystakelli Cheese Farm on the 2nd day, and at the large stores located on Ermou Street in the center of Mytilene. However, for coffee/loukoumades breaks in authentic villages such as Agiasos and Mandamados, small boutique shops, or extra payments such as Taverna night, we recommend that you carry cash euros in small denominations with you.
Yes! On the fairy-tale town of the island we will visit on the 2nd day of our tour, Molivos (Mithymna), our guests are given free time for a seaside lunch and swimming to cool off in the waters of the Aegean. Therefore, you should definitely have swimsuit, towel, beach slippers, and sunscreen in your luggage. Also, on the 2nd day, since we will climb 114 steps to reach Petra Monastery and walk through the cobbled streets of villages like Agiasos, wearing non-slip, comfortable, and orthopedic walking shoes is very important for your comfort.
Our tour departure point is Akçay Port. On Wednesday morning, in order for ticket delivery, check-in, passport, and customs procedures to be completed on time and without delay, we meet our Güventur team at the port at 06:30. After the procedures, we reach Lesbos by taking a pleasant journey on our ferry across the clear waters of the Aegean.
No, on the evening of the 1st day of our tour (Wednesday), the Greek Tavern Night, featuring live music, sirtaki, and a rich selection of Aegean meze, organized to keep the island's traditional entertainment culture alive, is an extra (optional) event. Guests who wish to join this unforgettable entertainment can easily make a reservation by writing their names down with our guide during the tour.
