Mytilini is the capital and main port of Lesvos, the third-largest Greek island, and it is a real working city rather than a resort. A Genoese and Byzantine castle overlooks the harbour and neoclassical mansions line the waterfront. The island is known for its olive oil, its ouzo distilleries, the petrified forest in the west, and villages such as Molyvos.
