Granted there is a long featureless beach running down the west coast, but this pales into insignificance when you find yourself on the east coast, with its rocky headlands and sheltered sandy bays. Lesvos, Jewel of the Aegean - When describing Lesvos, words like 'magical island', 'migration hotspot'. On top of all these acolades I would just add the words 'a wildlife photographer's dream'. Wildlife and Wild Birds - Lesvos is known to the birding world as one of the best locations in Europe to see migrating birds. The island's vast and varied landscape offers numerous species of birds exactly what they want and thus it is a haven not only for birds but for birdwatchers too who arrive in droves in the spring.
Notes are available on the Greek Islands .
