Yes, since the island of Midilli (Lesbos) belongs to Greece, a visa is required. Guests holding a burgundy (ordinary) passport must have a valid Schengen Visa or a valid Port Visa for the Greek islands (if they meet the application requirements). Guests holding a green (special) passport are exempt from visa requirements and may enter directly. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the end date of travel.
No, the traditional Greek Taverna Night organized on the evening of day 1 is an extra activity, and participation is entirely optional for our guests. Guests who wish to join this enjoyable evening, featuring live Greek melodies, sirtaki dancing, and a rich selection of traditional mezes, can register with our guide during the tour.
On the second day of our program, during our historical Molivos (Mithymna) excursion, free time is provided for our guests who wish to swim and relax by the sea. Therefore, you may want to make sure to include swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen in your suitcase. Also, to climb the 114-step Panagia Glykofilousa Monastery in Petra and to comfortably walk through Molivos's cobblestone streets, it is very important that you choose non-slip, orthopedic walking shoes.
Our crossing to Lesbos from Aliağa Customs Port is made. We meet our Güventur team at the port at 07:00 in the morning and complete our check-in procedures. Our ferry departs at 08:00, and the journey we will make in the blue waters of the Aegean takes an average of 1.5 - 2 hours, depending on the type of ship and weather conditions.
Greece's official currency is Euro (€). You need to have Euros with you for all your purchases on the island, lunch payments, and extra activity (Taverna) payments. Credit cards (Mastercard/Visa) can be used easily at large stores on Ermou Street and at places such as Mystakelli Cheese Farm, but we recommend carrying cash Euros with you for boutique shops and small coffee breaks.
