Sigri is a small fishing village on Lesbos Island, Greece. Located near the western tip of the island, Sigri is the most remote tourist destination in Greece, known as the land that time forgot. The name of Sigri comes from the Latin word ‘secro’ which means safe harbour. Though small in size, Sigri has much to offer. The village itself is built on a peninsula of land with the sea on both sides. The Turkish Castle in the village was built in 1757 during the ottoman period in order to protect the port of Sigri. This little harbour is always filled with colourful fishing boats and even larger vessels such as cruise ship sized ferries coming from the mainland. Clustered around the harbour are some lovely summer houses and hotels connected by small cobbled and paved streets. The beautiful sandy beaches here have a striking contrast with the rockier and pebbled beaches to the east of Lesbos. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy peace and quiet, then the small haven of Sigri would be the perfect destination.
Mesta is a village on the Greek island of Chios. Built as a fort to ward off raiding pirates, the village has been remarkably preserved. The narrow maze-like streets are surrounded by thick walls, and towers on surrounding hills could be used to signal the appearance of raiders. The current church of the Archangels towers over the village, and has a remarkable history and beautiful iconography.
