About this property
Surround yourself with nature when you vacation in Villa Trojan 1, a modern apartment overlooking the medieval village of Molyvos, on the north coast of Lesbos, set in the heart of the Aegean Sea. Villa Trojan 1 is part of a new, small, residential complex, nestled in the local Greek countryside, overlooking the quaint town, old port, and imposing castle of Molyvos. Sit on the local stone-walled terrace and you can see the azure blue of the Aegean Sea. This stylish one-bedroom apartment is built out of light local stone and can accommodate up to three guests, ideal for a small family, or a couple’s romantic getaway.
The property comes with private parking, and all the mod cons, including complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. The complex is a family-run affair, and the management team are on hand to make your holiday a most memorable one. The accommodation is light and airy, furnished with classic contemporary pieces, and decorated in a neutral palette of crisp clean whites, shades of soft grey and beiges, and hues of blues highlights. The ambience is one of laid back, chilled out, relaxing vibes.
This large sixty-square-metre apartment has a bright and breezy, living space. The open-plan seating area has a soft powder blue sofa, that can be transformed into a bed for one guest, with a coffee table, and a flat-screen television. The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including a large fridge freezer, a built-in oven and hob, as well as that must-have morning coffee maker and frappe stirrer. A two-seater white dining set is ideal for some informal indoor dining. The simply appointed bedroom has twin beds with neutral tones. The bathroom has a bathtub, with a hand basin, a WC, and a washing machine.
Villa Trojan 1 can be found nestled in a small complex overlooking the historic town of Molyvos, also known as Mithymna, on the north coast of the Greek island of Lesbos, in the heart of the azure Aegean Sea. The nearest international airport is Mytilini Odysseas Elytis, sixty five kilometres south of the villa, an hour and a quarter’s drive through the Greek countryside. If you are island hopping arrive at the port of Mytilini, which is sixty two kilometres away. The studio is within walking distance of the unesco World Heritage Site of Molyvos, where you will find a medieval castle, Orthodox churches, cobbled streets, traditional tavernas, and a fabulous organised beach. The beautiful beach of Efthalou is a few kilometres north of the villa, famous for its stunning sunsets, whilst picturesque Petra Bay, is a short drive south.
The capital town of Mytilini is an hour’s drive away, where you can wander around the Archaeological Museum, the Byzantine Museum, the Folk Art Museum, the Museum of Costume and Embroidery, and the Theophilus Art Museum. Climb the famous castle fortifications for some stunning sea views, then walk the Roman aqueduct and admire their technical skills. Mytilini reflects its history in the number of Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches, its many Byzantine monasteries, and mosques still there from the time of Ottoman rule. Make sure you don’t miss the local markets, selling hand-pressed olive oil, hive honey, carved woodwork, and homemade cheeses. After all that you’ve earned yourself a glass of ouzo and a plate of Greek mezes in a street side café, or treat yourself to some freshly caught fish, most notably the local sardines, in a seafront restaurant.
If you are feeling active there are lots of hiking trails, where you can discover the local flora and fauna. Take a tour of over two hundred caves scattered across the island, believed to be originally neolithic places of worship. Marvel at the natural hot springs of Efthalia, Thermes, and Gera. Discover an underwater marine world snorkelling and scuba diving. Sunbathe on one of the many varied beaches that populate the coastline, and partake in water sports, most especially windsurfing. Visit villages as old as time, especially Lafiona, Agiassos, Plomari and Skala Sikimias, and see how the islanders really live. Lose yourself in the unique and natural phenomenon that is the Petrified Forest, created from intense volcanic activity. Then visit the neighbouring museum at Sigri, which is dedicated to researching, promoting, displaying, and preserving it. Go on a wine tour and sample the fruits of the harvest, and most of all make sure you don’t miss the World of Ouzo Museum at Isodoros Avvanitis.
At the end of a busy day sightseeing, sit back and watch the stars appear on the big screen as the stars come out to shine at the open-air cinema specially constructed for the summer. Venture further afield, from the port at Mytilini board a ferry to the neighbouring islands of Lindos, Samos, Chios, and beyond.
