Tour guide:

German professional photographer Tobias Schorr, a true lover of Greece, is an enthousiastic geology expert since his early childhood. Tobias has lived for more than 15 years on Methana in Greece, participated in many scientific and tourism-developing projects such as the geologic and topographic mapping of the Methana peninsula, or the Geowarn project on Nisyros. Better than almost anyone else, he not only knows the geology of the Greek volcanic areas, but also their rich flora, fauna, geography, as well as history, archeology, culture and people.

Lesvos island is one of the most enchanting islands of Greece. It is volcanic in origin and has kept an unspoiled character. On our new tour, we discover geologic highlights, such as the hottest thermal springs of Europe (85-90 C!), an impressive petrified forest and spectacular outcrops of old dykes, lava domes and lava flows.
Lesvos has a very varied landscape, ranging from barren rock deserts to lush mountain forest and vast olive groves. It is known for its beautiful villages and monasteries and its local products, including the famous drink ouzo.
