Overview

Mithimna or Molivos

It has the kind of beauty that is difficult to describe. It';s the most traditional and well preserved village in the whole island. It is built amphitheatrically and thanks to its pretty stone houses it looks more like a picture postcard, with a byzantine castle looming on top of the hill. A walk in the shaded, cobbled streets of Mithimna will lead you through to the charming old neighborhoods where the poet Argiris Eftaliotis and the writer Elias Venezis used to live, with beautifully preserved manor-houses, ornate drinking fountains and picturesque little cafés where you can enjoy your coffee or a local dessert, along with the view of the endless blue sea
