Mitylene

Explore this bustling city's ancient roots, and visit the huge castle perched on the hill - the beautiful Greek theater that the Romans repaired and then copied back in Rome! See the impressive Cathedral and the Church of St. Nicholas, converted from a mosque. Enjoy the Archaeological Museum or one of the fine art museums with collections of important works. Venture into the old quarter near the waterfront to enjoy the old Turkish mansions or into the countryside and discover quaint villages where time has stopped.

Indulge in fresh mussels, fried shrimp, grilled octopus, deep-fried zucchini stuffed with cheese, or fried squash and eggplant sprinkled with cheese and garlic sauce. Of course a glass of wine complements any meal.

Look for embroidered items, olive oil, leather goods, fishermen's sweaters, jewelry and pottery.
