About this tour

Spend a full day birding with Eleni Galinou across a selection of Lesvos habitats chosen for current conditions and your interests.

A full day allows a broader route through Kalloni Gulf wetlands, central olive groves and maquis, western garrigue and oak woodland, or southern pine forest and coastal sites. Spring and autumn bring excellent migration, while resident island specialities can be sought throughout the year.

The standard tour lasts ten hours and includes a one-hour lunch break, usually from 08:30 to 19:30. Dawn-to-dusk and other tailored arrangements may be requested.
