The Greek island of Lesvos comes to life on August 15th when it celebrates its annual feast of the Assumption.
People from all over Greece are treated to a bank holiday on this holy day but the festivities on the Mediterranean isle are something to behold for all the family.
Folk music and traditional costumes are the pride of the island on this day, when locals head up to churches' courtyards to camp out after enjoying delicacies specific to Lesvos' history until dawn.
But for those looking for a more relaxed holiday, Lesvos (pronounced 'Lesbos') is famed for its ancient hot springs, which are reported to have therapeutic qualities that help to soothe even the most troublesome ailments.
Tourists should look to the Gulf of Gera, Egtalou and Polichnitos for the best spas, many of which are accompanied by hotels and stunning beach resorts.
Lesvos is also well known for its capital Mytilene, which has a Hellenistic theatre said to have housed 10,000 in the days of classical Greece and provides the setting for the Theophilos museum, named after the early 20th century folk painter.
