Car Rental at 'Skala Eresou - Downtown'

The rule of the Ottoman Empire on Lesbos is evidenced by the historical monument Yeni Tzami. Since the mosque (or rather, its ruins) is located near the port, the shrine offers wonderful views of the old harbor - and this is another plus to visiting the monument. In Mithymna, you can find another interesting attraction — the Castle of Molyvos, which is clearly visible while approaching the city. The powerful fortress is the second largest castle in Lesbos. It was built during the period of Byzantine rule on the island to protect it from the Ottoman Empire. Today, due to the loss of strategic importance, the building lies in ruins. However, it is interesting to explore them in the summer, when wonderful cultural events are held here.

Not far from the fortress is the beautifully restored hammam (Χαμάμ) that presently houses a museum. Here you can take a trip to a real oriental fairy tale, and, of course, find a lot of interesting information about the island's life during the Ottoman rule. You can also learn about the Roman heritage of Lesbos by visiting the ruins of the Roman aqueduct (Ρωμαϊκό Υδραγωγείο Μόριας), which can be found near Moria. It is believed that it was built at the beginning of the 3rd century BC, and many travelers are amazed by the unusual atmosphere of the place breathing the history.
