Yes, since Lesbos (Midilli) Island belongs to Greece, it is subject to a visa. Guests holding a maroon (ordinary) passport are required to obtain a valid Schengen Visa or, if they meet the conditions, a Greek Islands Port Visa. Guests holding a green (special) passport are exempt from visas and can enter the island directly. All passports must have a validity period of at least 6 more months from the end date of travel.
No, the traditional Greek Taverna Night with dinner, live music, and sirtaki organized on the evening of the 2nd day is an extra event. Participation is entirely optional for our guests. Guests who wish to join this entertainment, which brings together the cultures of both sides of the Aegean, can sign up with our guide during the tour.
During our fairy-tale Molivos (Mithymna) excursion on the 3rd day of our program, free time is provided for our guests who wish to swim by the sea and have lunch. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you have swimwear, a towel, and sunscreen in your suitcase. Also, since we will climb 114 steps to reach the monastery in Petra and walk on historic stone streets (Agiasos, Molivos), it is very important that you bring comfortable walking shoes with non-slip soles.
Yes, credit cards (Mastercard/Visa) can be used comfortably at major shopping spots on our first day, such as Lidl Market, Jumbo AVM and the Barbayanni Ouzo Factory in Plomari. Since the official currency of Greece is Euro (€), we also recommend that you carry some cash euros with you for boutique shops on the island, small coffee breaks, and extra activity payments.
Our Lesbos tour’s departure point is Aliağa Customs Port. On Friday morning at 07:00, we meet the Güventur team at the port and complete our check-in and customs procedures. This enjoyable sea journey we will make on the Aegean waters with our ferry takes an average of 1.5 - 2 hours.
