Kalloni Gulf
Located in the center of Lesvos Island, Kalloni’s rich history reflects in the existence of numerous archaeological sites in the region. The Messa Sanctuary, Klopedi and the temple of Apollo by Agia Paraskevi village, the underwater ancient city of Pyra, Makara and Apotheka are only a few to mention. The Aristotle’s Lagoon – the bay and salt pans of Kalloni – is the place where Aristotle’s studies led to the birth of a new science – Biology. The coastal areas of the Gulf of Kalloni are included in “NATURA 2000” and they are considered famous for bird watching.
