Plomari and the around area is the famous place from where the the ouzo comes! When it comes to Ouzo we take thing seriously in Levos as you would imagine.
One of the most prestigious brand in Lesvos is Barbayanis: http://www.barbayanni-ouzo.com/. It would be a great idea to go and see the distillery as it is one of the oldest and more famous, if you go there you will learn the neaty greaty of ouzo, highly recommended. http://www.barbayanni-ouzo.com/ouzo-museum-lesvos.html
Here is a nice Ouzo guide: http://www.lesvos.com/ouzo.html
My personal Favorite is Pitsalidi
When I am abroad I will ask for Ouzo Plomari
However dont constraint yourselves and try, ask what people think. Me and my father have different tastes and argue a lot about which ouzo is best.
Okay so enough with drinking lets stay somber.
Make sure you stop to the Plomari Village (for the ouzo) and walk around as it is very beautiful with many big trees and picturesque roads.
Then some nice beaches that you should have in mind are:
- Melinta
- Drota
- Agios Isidoros
Vatera
Then near the plomari area is Vatera which is the longest beach on the island. It is a great family vacation style place. If you want to have room on the beach, you can defiantly find it :) Tip: At the end of the beach up on the heel (Agios Fokas) there is an amazing fish taverna, keep an eye for it.
