The Area

MUNICIPALITY OF POLICHNITOS

If you could run an almost straight line from Achladeri (nearly the right tip of the Gulf of Kalloni) to meet the south coastline of Lesvos just before Drota, you will find that the Municipality of Polichnitos (45 km from Mytilini) occupies the area to the west of that line.

The surroundings are very pleasing to the eye since the location is surrounded by olive groves, thick pine forests, the clear waters of the Aegean Sea and the fishing grounds of the Gulf of Kalloni. It is blessed with the best beaches, coves and harbours of Lesvos, natural salt pans producing the whitest salt in Europe, two thermal springs, several wetlands attracting migrant and indigent birds, Palaeolithic fossils and archaeological findings illuminating its historical past, since the ancient times.

The Municipality of Polichnitos is comprised of 8 villages of various sizes (total population app. 5000 people):
