As the third biggest island in Greece, Lesvos is often considered a “tiny continent”, a truly hidden gem of the Aegean. Its remote location offers a unique authentic experience of Greek culture and hospitality.

Mitilini, the island’s capital, is located on the southeastern coast, with more than one thrid of the island’s population, while hosting six departments of the University of the Aegean. More than 83 thousand people live permanently on the island, working mainly on the primary sector of agriculture, such as olive oil production, caseiculture and stockraising.

A few decades ago, being in your early 20’s and pursuing a career in tech or business would mean one had to leave Lesvos. Today, more and more people who grew up in Lesvos (or not!) and have been leaving abroad, are coming back as remote workers or digital nomads, looking for a better quality of life.
