Yes, since Midilli (Lesbos) Island is within the borders of Greece, it is subject to visa requirements. Our guests holding maroon (ordinary) passports are required to obtain a valid Schengen Visa for their travel dates or a Greek Islands Visa on Arrival, provided that they submit their documents 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 the Lidl Market we will visit on the 1st day of our tour, the Mystakelli Cheese Farm on the 2nd day, and the large stores on Ermou Street in the center. However, for coffee/lokma breaks in authentic villages such as Agiasos and Mandamados, small boutique shops, or extra payments such as the Taverna night, we recommend that you carry cash Euro in small banknotes with you.
Yes! In 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 lunch by the sea and swimming to cool off in the waters of the Aegean. Therefore, you must definitely have swimwear, a towel, beach sandals, and sunscreen in your suitcase. Also, on the 2nd day, since we will climb 114 steps to reach Petra Monastery and walk through the cobblestone streets of villages such as Agiasos, it is very important that you wear non-slip, comfortable, and orthopedic walking shoes.
The departure point of our tour is Aliağa Customs Port. On Wednesday morning, in order to complete ticket delivery, check-in, passport, and customs procedures on time and without delay, we meet our Güventur team at the port at 07:00. After the procedures, we reach Mytilene by taking a pleasant journey on the Aegean waters with our ferry, scheduled to depart at 08:00.
No, on the evening of the 1st day of our tour (Wednesday), the Greek Taverna Night with live music, sirtaki, and a rich selection of Aegean meze, organized to keep the island’s traditional entertainment culture alive, is an extra (optional) activity. Guests who would like to join this unforgettable entertainment can easily make a reservation by registering their names with our guide during the tour.
