Shopping

Like most holiday shopping, Lesvos has its fair share of gift shops selling the usual tacky souvenirs, but there are also great finds if you know where to look. Head to Molivos for fantastic markets to explore as well as dinky cobblestone streets lined with little stores. Villages such as Plomari, Eressos, Agiassos, Agia Paraskev have a few shops, but nothing compared to the calibre or variety travellers will find in Mitilini or Molivos. Popular buys include local produce like graviera cheese and Ouzo Wine, as well as crafts, leather goods, ceramics, unique Greek designed jewellery, woven goods and interesting folk art. Villages such as Plomari, Eressos, Agiassos, Agia Paraskev have a few shops, but nothing compared to Mitilini or Molivos. Tourist shops tend to be open from 9am to 10pm, while others close earlier.
