The capital of the island of Lesbos is located on the east coast and is called Mytilini. The Castle of Mytilini can be seen from almost every viewpoint in the city — not only because it stands on a high hill, but also because it is one of the largest castles in the Mediterranean. The first structures date back to the Byzantine period (6th century), likely built on the remains of an even older ancient acropolis. In the 14th century, the Genoese Gattilusio family significantly expanded the fortress while they ruled Lesbos. The castle was built to protect the city from pirates and enemy naval attacks. After the Ottoman conquest in 1462, additional walls, bastions, and storage areas were added, giving the complex its current impressive size. The castle covers about 60 hectares, highlighting its strategic importance; located close to the Turkish coast, Mytilene was for centuries an important military and trading center in the Aegean Sea. We spent the entire afternoon walking across the grounds, passing remains of Ottoman bathhouses, water reservoirs, underground storage spaces, and an old mosque.

Solo Sailing with 3 dogs! ⛵️🐶 Full episode now on YouTube - Episode 11! 🎥 Sailing Sardinia | Lagoon 440 Catamaran Thanks for watching our tiny channel ❤️ https://youtu.be/QGIX1olCKWI?si=qORzj073hocuwj9M Join me for two weeks of solo sailing along the stunning coast of Sardinia aboard our Liveaboard Lagoon 440 catamaran, Kaia. With Vika away in Ibiza, it’s just me and the dogs exploring hidden anchorages, navigating changing winds, and soaking up the magic of this rugged coastline. From raising the Italian courtesy flag to chasing rainbows over Perda Longa, these solo days at sea were filled with quiet moments, breezy sails, and plenty of dog walks ashore. After finding shelter from strong winds near Porto Columbu, I finally made it safely into Marina del Sole—rounding off an incredible stretch of sailing on my own. In just a few days, Vika will return and together we’ll head into Cagliari to prepare for our biggest passage yet: leaving the EU behind and setting sail across to Tunisia, our first step onto another continent. ⚓ If you love sailing adventures, liveaboard life with dogs, and exploring new coastlines—make sure to like, subscribe, and join us for the journey!
