Welcome to Captain’s View :: a beautifully restored stone house in Molivos (Molyvos) :: Lesvos (Lesbos) island, Greece
Description
We round the final curve approaching the northern tip of the island of Lesvos and we are presented with an unforgettable sight that really does take our breath away. Molyvos (or Mythimna) could be described as one of the most picturesque villages in all of Greece, if not the Mediterranean.
Lots of gorgeous stone houses in the hues of greys, pinks, ochres and siennas dot the hillside under a spectacular medieval castle which, during the mid summer months, hosts theatres and concerts. Many of the houses are built in the old Turkish style with wooden overhanging upper stories and shutters painted in the traditional colours of maroon and dark green.
In the distance the blue mountains of mainland Turkey (6 miles away) make a magnificent backdrop to the scenic view of Molyvos.
