Molyvos
Molyvos is the tourist capital of Lesvos. Mithymna, or Molyvos as it was called during the middle ages, is truly an amazing town.
The town is situated on a small mountain topped by a dramatic medieval castle, built by the Byzantines and renovated by the Gattelusis, who were from Genoa and were ceded the island when Francesco Gattelusi married the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor John Paliologos. The original castle which this one replaced, was conquered by none other then Achilles during the Trojan war.
