VILLAGES
The pulsating live of the
big cities like Mytilini, Molyvos or Petra is very interesting, but the least
known an
d maybe most charming aspect of Lesvos is life in the traditional
mountain villages.
While
most travelers stick to the beaches and seaports, life in the villages goes on
as it has for hundreds of years though now modern conveniences like electricity,
television and motorized transportation have made it a bit easier. In a typical
village, life revolves around the main square and the cafeneons around it.
The men
work in the fields or whatever crafts they have been trained in. But no matter
how hard they work they always find time to go to the cafeneons. For the men of
the village it is their home away from home.
Have
a look!
