Saint Theoktisti Street, Greece
From series “Top 13 Most Fantastic and Colorful Streets and Quarters”
The Greek island of Lesvos can boast the charming old town of Molyvos. Its central street is one of the most beautiful places not only in the country but in the world. The main decoration of this ancient cobbled street are wisterias. Because of them, the street shines with dozens of purple shades. When wisteria is in bloom, its magnificent trusses with flowers give pleasant shade. The cobbled street looks like a real fairytale tunnel.
Many of the streets of Molyvos, including a beautiful central road, are paved with large stones. Thus, it is advisable to have comfortable shoes for walking. It is also worth noting that the small town streets are quite confusing, so before taking a stroll inexperienced tourists should definitely stock up a couple of maps. Besides marvelous wisteria, the main street is adorned with priceless architectural monuments. Those are very unusual colorful houses in Turkish style that were built over a hundred years ago.

Top destination around Saint Theoktisti Street - Molyvos
The first stronghold was built in the territory of modern Mithymna during the Byzantine reign. Builders chose a spectacular area for the fortress – a hill with an enchanting view of the coast and the sea. This strategic location helped to protect the coast from the rapid attacks of the enemies. The majority of Mithymna’s residents initially settled inside the fortress. Only several centuries later, when the territory inside the fortress complex was full and couldn’t have any new dwellers, people started settling nearby. The new buildings were made in a peculiar way so that they could stand on the slope of the hill for a long time.
For many years, Mithymna was widely recognized as the main Greek resort on Lesbos Island. However, the town has lost its popularity in recent years. The local beach doesn’t amuse tourists either. In the opinion of many, the beach is mediocre. It is covered with pebbles and has a sand surface only close to the Psiriara Bay. Of course, tourists can sunbathe and swim in the sea but the beach has no infrastructure. Silence and distance from urban noise are the main advantages of Mithymna Beach. If you are searching for a comfortable area for beach recreation, it is better to visit other nearby settlements that have more tourist infrastructure.
