Please Help Support this Guide:
When I had to find a way to support my web sites I had 2 choices. I could use modern advertising technology like most sites use with pay-per-click ads all over my pages and spy-ware that collects information and posts the ads each individual reader is most likely to click on. Or I could choose to promote a handful of travel agents, and a reliable hotel booking system and keep my sites relatively ad free. No obnoxious pop-ups, fake news articles, or gathering of information through cookies. I chose the second. If you book through the links on my site I will receive a commission which supports my work. But if you book elsewhere, (like Air BnB for example) but still find my website useful I ask you to send a donation through Paypal or you can use Venmo at venmo.com/Matt-Barrett-Greece
If you prefer to send a check you can email me. Any amount helps. Thank you for your support!

Support the People of Lesvos: Visit Lesvos
You have read about the flow of refugees that came to Greece the past few years, many of them landing on the island of Lesvos. The people of Lesvos helped the refugees, rescuing many at sea, giving them warm clothes and food as soon as they came ashore, and assisting them on getting to the administration centers in
Mytilini so they can be
registered and continue their long journey to northern Europe. The refugees have stopped coming but you can support the people of Lesvos in the best way possible. You can come to Lesvos and visit what I think is the most beautiful island in Greece, where you can eat, drink, swim and enjoy the good will of people who have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Because of the negative press international tour and cruise companies
have abandoned the island, which is silly. Lesvos is as beautiful and enjoyable as ever and the people of Lesvos don't deserve to suffer economic hardship because they have chosen to assist refugees instead of turning a blind eye. So consider Lesvos as the island to visit this summer and support the people who were actually helping the refugees.

Important Note: There is a lot of information on my website and it is all free to anyone whether you booked through the travel agents, the hotels or Air BnB. But it is the commissions I get from hotel bookings on my affiliate website with Booking.com
that supports this website and enable me to continue doing the work I enjoy.
