Yes, since Midilli (Lesbos) Island is affiliated with Greece, it is subject to visa requirements. Guests holding a burgundy (ordinary) passport must have a valid Schengen Visa on their travel dates or, provided they submit their documents on time, a Greek Islands Visa on Arrival. 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 it is mandatory that the passport does not contain a KKTC entry stamp.
In Lesbos, the official currency is Euro (€). International credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) can be used easily for your shopping at the popular Lidl Market in our program, in the large stores on Ermou Street, and at Mystakelli Cheese Farm. However, we recommend that you carry cash Euros with you for payments such as coffee breaks in authentic villages like Agiasos and Mandamados, small souvenir shops, or Taverna night.
Yes! In the charming Molivos (Mithymna) town, which we will visit on the 2nd day of our tour, our guests are given free time for lunch and swimming so they can cool off in the clear waters of the Aegean. Therefore, do not forget to have swimsuit, towel, flip-flops, and sunscreen in your suitcase. Also, since we will climb 114 steps when going up to the monastery in Petra and walk through the cobblestone stone streets of the villages, it is very important that you choose non-slip, comfortable, and orthopedic walking shoes.
The starting point of our tour is Dikili Port. On Saturday morning, to ensure ticket delivery, check-in, and passport/customs procedures are completed smoothly, we meet our Güventur team at the port at 07:00. Our ferry’s scheduled departure time is 08:00, and our journey on the waters of the Aegean takes an average of 1.5 - 2 hours depending on weather and sea conditions.
No, the Greek Tavern Night with live music, sirtaki, and traditional meze, organized for you to closely experience the entertainment culture of Midilli on the evening of day 1, is an extra (optional) activity. Guests who wish to join this unforgettable Aegean entertainment can easily make a reservation by signing up with our guide during the tour.
