Yes, Lesbos Island is within the borders of Greece, so a visa is required. Guests holding a burgundy (ordinary) passport must have a valid Schengen Visa for their travel dates or, provided they submit their documents to our agency in advance, obtain a Greek Islands Visa on Arrival. Holders of a green (special) passport are exempt from visa requirements. To ensure smooth entry to the island, all passports must have at least 6 months of validity, and there must definitely be no TRNC entry stamp in the passport.
Greece's official currency is Euro (€). International credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) work smoothly at the Lidl Market we will visit on day 1 of our tour, the Mystakelli Cheese Farm on day 2, and the large stores on Ermou Street. However, for coffee/loukoumades breaks in villages such as Agiasos and Mandamados, small boutique shops, or extra payments such as the Taverna night, we recommend that you carry cash Euros in small denominations with you.
Yes! On the 2nd day of our tour, in the impressive town of the island we will visit, Molivos (Mithymna), our guests are given free time for lunch by the sea and for swimming and cooling off. For this reason, you must обязательно 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 authentic villages, it is very important that you wear non-slip, comfortable, and orthopedic walking shoes.
The departure point of our tour is Dikili Port. On Wednesday morning, we meet our Güventur team at the port at 07:00 so that ticket delivery, check-in, passport, and customs procedures can be completed on time and without delay. After the procedures, we travel to Lesbos on our ferry, enjoying a pleasant journey across the Aegean waters.
No, on the evening of the 1st day of our tour (Wednesday), the Greek Tavern Night with live music, sirtaki, and rich Aegean appetizers, organized to keep the island’s traditional entertainment culture alive, is an extra (optional) event. Guests who would like to join this enjoyable entertainment can easily make a reservation by writing their names to our guide during the tour.
