Description
Papados is located near the Gera Bay, 23.9 km from the city of Mytilene. It is built at an altitude of 100 meters, among the majestic olive groves. The name comes from the priests who lived in cells and formed the first nucleus of the settlement development.
The houses are traditional and beautifully restored mansions are used for cultural purposes.
Sights of the village are the church of the Archangel and the ruins of a medieval fortress located northwest of the village (location ‘Kastreli’). The village is also famous for the traditional wedding custom.
