Agiasos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agiasos (Αγιάσος) is a town on the island of Lesbos, in Greece. It is located at the slopes of mountain Olympos, at a height of 475 meters, 26km from Mytilene, with its special bright green landscape, its narrow cobbled streets lined by ranks of tiled-roof houses, the traditional architecture and its restless and religious inhabitants. Agiassos, artistic and religious centre of the island, is a preserved settlement that has many to offer to visitors. A very famous cultural institution has been established in 1854 when the village was still under Turkish domination, the reading society of Anaptixi. Today it has a great library, a theatre hall and a folklore museum.
