Today we took a bus over the mountain to the costal village of Molyvos. This is the second city of Lesvos and is close to Sappho's old stomping grounds. The village is generally acknowledged to be the most beautiful on the island, and it maintains strict constraints on building style, and even the colors villagers are allowed to paint their houses.
The limpid water at the stony beach below the village was a little too cold for swimming, but we wadded.
While May isn't the best month for swimmers, it's apparently the best time to be a Greek flower. A medieval castle, on the site of an ancient fortress, occupies the highest point in the village, and when we hiked up to it, we found a garden of wild flowers!
It's apparently now the Greek offices of Enron
