Ponds
and Streams in Lesvos
Lesvos is
blessed with more water then most of the
other Aegean islands and therefore is rich
in agriculture as well as wetlands. These
are photos of some of the ponds, rivers
and tidalpools. In spring and summer
they are still full of water and wildlife,
including turtles, frogs, snakes, birds
and whatever other animals come by for a
drink. We allways save our extra bread to
feed the turtles when we come upon one of
these pools.
