Yes, since Midilli (Lesbos) Island is within the borders of Greece, it is subject to visa requirements. Our guests holding burgundy (ordinary) passports are required to obtain a valid Schengen Visa for their travel dates or, provided that they submit their documents to our agency in full in advance, a Greek Islands Visa on Arrival. Holders of green (special) passports are exempt from visas. In order to enter the island without any issues, 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 major shopping points such as Lidl Market we will stop by on day 1 of our tour, Jumbo Mall on day 3, and the Barbayanni Ouzo Factory in Plomari. However, we recommend that you have cash Euros in small bills with you for extra payments such as coffee/loukoumades breaks in authentic villages like Agiasos and Mandamados, small boutique shops, or the Taverna evening.
