Crewed sailing trips on Lesvos island and towards other Aegean islands. Dream of a Sea where... The wind blows most of the year, playfully changing its force and direction, challenging your sailing skills. There are no strong currents and no tides. You can have all the navigation aids you want but still there will be something interesting to be discovered. You can easily pass from the crowds to the total loneliness in a few miles trip. There are no sharks or poisonous "monsters" to threaten you. You do not need to wear more than a T-shirt. You can sail through the centuries since on almost every cape you can spot the ruins of an ancient temple or castle. You can rest on a volcanic rock and relocate yourself in Nature while listening to the song of a blackbird in the Sunset. Then, make your dreams come true! Sail the Aegean with ALTERNATIVE SAILING because we hold one of the keys to the Aegean Nature.

The Olive Press Museum of Archipelagos Society was one of the first steam-powered factories on Lesvos Island and in the Aegean which operated continuously until the early 1970s, when it closed down and surrendered to the decay of time. In 1999, this industrial monument of unique architectural value came into the possession of the Archipelagos Society (a non -profit organization dedicated to the protection and cultural development of the Aegean) which undertook the work of restoration that lasted from 2006 to 2009. At the same time the historical equipment of the factory was also restored and put into operation, granting the visitor an accurate picture of traditional olive-oil production. If someone is visiting Lesvos Island will soon understand that olives trees, olive oil and olive industry is the core of development of the island and that the tradition goes back centuries. No visitor of the island should miss it!!!
