Family trip to Mitilini with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

The capital of Lesbos, Mitilini, is located on two hills and has preserved its unrivaled appearance since ancient times. In the city, there are many interesting places: attractions, beaches in the center and surroundings of the city, and a beautiful embankment where you should certainly stroll. Fans of water activities can go on a cruise, yachting, or fishing.

On the beach of Mitilini, Tsamakia, you and your children can do everything to remember your vacation forever: surfing, diving, and yachting. And you definitely should swim and sunbathe in the bay of Mitilini, especially if everything - azure water, clean sand, and fresh sea wind - invites to do this. Children will be more impressed by picturesque landscapes, as they are worth being seen at least once.

Besides beach landscapes, the view from the city embankment (Μαρίνα Μυτιλήνης) will impress even the most demanding tourists. You should visit one of the restaurants on the embankment with your children to taste delicious dishes and admire spectacular panoramic landscapes at the same time. Walking at sunrise or sunset is a real joy too. You can admire ships coming from and to the quay. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

In the territory of the city, there is a wonderful playground (Παιδική Χαρά) where children can go down the slides and climb interesting constructions. You should also visit Παιδοτοποσ Καραμελα. It is an interesting place with a friendly atmosphere where toddlers can have fun. Near it, there is a sports complex named Μαρκάδας Mundialito. Here, everyone can have a good time and play different games: basketball, tennis, and badminton.

As for the museums on Lesbos, the New Archaeological Museum of Mytilene (Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο Μυτιλήνης) is very interesting. Here, you can see a lot of unusual exhibits, including the “find of a month”. You should also look at the building where the Old Archaeological Museum of Mytilene (Παλαιό Κτίριο Αρχαιολογικού Μουσείου Μυτιλήνης) was located. It is full of history so inquisitive children will be certainly impressed by this place. Near it, there is the Statue of Liberty (Άγαλμα Της Ελευθερίας).

Don’t pass by such restaurants and cafes, as Sugar House (that offers a wide choice of sweets and incredibly delicious cookies), Monkey Bar (where you can taste the best fruit desserts), and Be Happy (children are amazed by waffles cooked here). The Soho cafe with delicious pancakes, Maskwtitsa with unrivaled cakes and ice cream, and the Panellinion Restaurant with amazing pastry are worth being visited too.
