Lesbos Tourist Information
Here is a page with links to Lesbos (pronounce: lesvos)
travel to the island:
By plane, it's only a 30-40 min. trip either with Aegean or Olympic airlines:

By ship, one can always find cheaper tickets, but it takes from 8 to 12 hours to come to the island. However, it is much prettier than flying and a good relaxing start to the summer school.

Arriving early, staying on for a few extra days?
try this for good accommodation:
1. For hotel rooms: malemi@otenet.gr
The study centre has been cooperating with them for many years. Nice place with swimming pool.
2. For rooms: "Giorgos Eleftheriou" <natura01@otenet.gr> has rooms for rent, and the study centre has enjoyed good cooperation with him for many years.
If you book either of these places, ask for the prices for the Metochi-guests.
