Plus, there's some free time on Agios Isidoros beach for swimming and relaxing, too. Vasiliki, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The best aniseed in the world grows abundantly on Lesbos. Its distinctive aromas make it unique to the island and give ouzo its depth of flavour.'To kick off, you'll head to Skopelos village to explore the ancient catacombs underneath the church of Saint Mary Magdalene.

Always the water first because the ice will dull the flavours.'
