Ouzo and olive oil. Those are the two famous exports of the Greek island Lesvos. Third largest in size behind Crete and Evia, the arguably lesser-known enclave near Turkey also boasts a petrified forest, one of the rarest natural monuments in the world. Created 20 million years ago when volcanic materials covered and petrified the coniferous forests dominating the area at that time, the 37-acre preserve spans the Sigri-Eressos-Antissa area. Take a break from the beach and enjoy a walk through the forest of silence.
