LESBOS

The last chapter of our female trip to Greece unfolds on the awe-inspiring island of Lesbos. This is the birthplace of the legendary female poet, Sappho, who highly praised women, romantic love and human emotions, bringing to light ideas that have led to a huge debate among historians over the centuries. Let’s travel through her verses and values, as we discover the corners of an off-the-beaten-path island with stone villages that will enchant you, tastes that will excite you and stories that will captivate you. Let's be transported to a world of myth and wonder, where the power and resilience of women are celebrated at every turn.
