  Stephanie B. asked:

  I'm in a real dilemma as to where to go on this years Greek Island trip. We have 17 days, will be flying from the UK and I don't drive in Greece. Ideally would like to visit 4-5 islands. Really love the idea of Lesbos as I haven't been there yet but what other nearby islands are Must Sees and also doable in the time limits? Any recommendations will be much appreciated.

  You could happily spend the whole time on Lesvos with a day trip or overnight to Turkey and visit the Mastika villages of Chios for a few days on the way back. See www.lesvos.com

  Lesvos is quite a big island and has much to offer, so it's easy to spend the whole holiday here. And as Matt mentions: the ferry to the Turkisch city of Ayvalik is a nice day trip. Ayvalik is quite special, it is a good mix of Greek and Turkish influences. I like it a lot.

  Last year I went north from Athens where the vegetation is lush to visit the islands of Skiathos, and Skopelos (the Mama Mia island).. Day boat trips around the island with 4 stops between 9 and 6 are only 10 euro for Skiathos and 15 euro for the trip to Skopelos. Additionally, there is the island of Alonissos, supposedly paradise on earth, and the third member of the Sporades islands. They are all close to each other. I LOVED Skiathos and took the day boat to Skopelos. 3 magical days. I did not make it to Alonissos but plan to go back this year. I also want to go to Lesvos as well. Hope this helps.

  You can use the public bus on Lesvos. It will take some time but brings you to many places.

  Ruth H. asked:

  Has anyone ever stayed at Skala Eressos on Mytilini? We are planning to go next summer and are looking for cabins or other lodging for a large-ish group (9). The only places I have been able to find online (they do look great) are in Skala Eressos. Any other recommendations would be great.

  

  Matt E. replied:

  Go to www.lesvos.com and click on the links to Skala Eressos and Hotels and there are lots of suggestions.

  Mytilni is the capital of Lesvos (Lesbos) we have visited the island many times and have visited Skala Eressos on several occasions but never stayed. The beach there is beautiful and there are boardwalk tavernas along the beach front. It is quite arty and bohiemium there and tends to cater to the female gay crowd. My husband and I have stayed in skala Kallonis, Petra, Molyvos and Anaxos all lovely resorts.
