  • 1 min read
  • Lésbos, also called Mitilíni, is a greek island.
  • It is the largest island after Crete and Euboea in the Aegean Sea.
  • The island is largely volcanic in the west, and numerous thermal springs indicate the unstable subterranean structure that has caused severe earthquakes throughout history.
  • The irregular coast of Lésbos is penetrated by two narrow-mouthed bays, Géras (southeast) and the Gulf of Kallonís (southwest).
  • The principal peak is Mount Lepethymnus (Áyios Ilías) which reaches 3,176 feet.
