Gotcha!!! Our first encounter with a local island kitty having a siesta during noon time. It makes us sleepy as well with this hot and dry weather. I thought i saw a pussycat, i did, i did..........
Greek salad yum yum yummy!!! My wife had the salad almost everyday. I totally agreed when wifey say it must be one of the most delicious salad in the whole wide world. Greek salad with the local produced olive oil and cheese on top, hemmmm we can't ask for more....... highly recommended!!
The cultural old town of Molivos with a Byzantines medieval castle standing proud on top of the hill guarding the coastline. We fall in love with all the charming old stone houses and smaller alleys here. The locals are friendly and they sell many beautiful handmade crafts like potteries, paintings and many more. Molivos situated about 4 km from Petra (the other town in Lesbos) where we are staying, so it took us about 45 minutes to an hour to get there by walking. Along the journey walking towards Molivos, you can see beautiful coastline, rock formation and olive plantation. Really nice!!
The coastline in Molivos. We were standing on the higher ground just to get the panoramic view of the coastline and the valleys of Molivos. Too bad it was cloudy at that time, but it was still a breathtaking view!!
Storm is coming!!! We and many others in Molivos can see the storm from a distance is getting closer and closer moving towards us. After 10 minutes from taking this photo the storm arrived in Molivos, thank god we managed to find a shelter in the restaurant.
Let's explore more of the charming old stone houses and shops of the old town Molivos. It feel like walking in the Hobbit village.
The town of Petra. This town is becoming more appealing to many tourists recently and it got it's own identity. Even though it is popular, but you don't feel like it's overcrowded. The beach is nice and the tavernas here are modern with a greek style design. Here we stayed in the charming little family run hotel apartments about 200 meter from the beach. We love it!! In Petra, tourists can easily find a lots of cafes and restaurants along the beach where they served really delicious home cooking greek food with reasonable price. One of the best part is, we witness the stunning sunset of Lesbos almost everyday. We will definitely come back to Petra in the future.
Glykfylousa Panagia Church(Our Lady of the Sweet Kiss) This church perched on top of the rocky mountain overlooking Petra. It is a perfect place to view the whole Petra from up there.
The stunning sunset of Lesbos. Whoooaaa!!!!
Another stunning sunset of Lesbos, heaven!!!
Me and wifey having a breakfast ala greek style on our little apartment's balcony. Amazing view and the sun is shining, that's all we need.
