Mitilinii Village

IMG_0015 (2)

The small town of Mitilinioi, the old capital of the island, is built amphitheatrically on top of three hills in the middle of the fertile valley of Hisios. The mane of the Mitilinioi originates from the first inhabitants of this are who came from Mitilini (Lesvos).
In Mitilinioi there is an important commercial activity and a vibrant nightlife.
Picturesque narrow streets, churches, and beautiful cafes, make up a uniquely beautiful picture.

  4. Your island is a good deal larger than I had first thought, Benikos. I like being able to see all the way to the ocean like this.

  5. Uniquely beautiful, indeed. The way you've composed this, the viewers eye moves from the foreground over the rooftops and out to that glistening sea. I feel almost like a bird in flight. Thank you.
