Greek island travel to Lesvos in the Northern Aegean group of islands is highly recommended for foodies, since the island is known for having some of the best seafood in Greece. It is famous for its premium ouzo and sardines, with the Dimino and Gianatsi brands of ouzo being local favorites. Any local brand distilled in the traditional way will be better than what you'll find in the airport or overseas.

According to some, the secret to picking the best ouzo is to look at the alcohol content. Those that are closest to 40% will usually provide the best flavor. As for the sardines, they are caught from from the bays of year and Kaloni. Another attraction that draws tourists to the island is its ancient history as the birthplace of Sapho. The destination is popular with families and with those who are into alternative spirituality.
