A group of friends take a road trip across the spectacular island of Lesvos, giving you a glimpse of local culture, island life, how the island managed the refugee crisis and what it means to live in paradise.

The film has won two awards in 2017 including top placing at Planet Barcelona, played to a prime time national audience on Foxtel and became the first documentary to sell out simultaneous cinema sessions in Sydney. Basil Genimahaliotis is an acclaimed video and filmmaker based in London. Billy Cotsis is an author, short film director and TV presenter on MerakiTV, Australia.

This film was made possible with the support of the Mytilenean Brotherhood of Sydney and NSW and all the wonderful people we met on our journey through the island.

Please visit, support or invest in our island or the produce that Lesvos has.

So interesting to see how little and how much has changed on Lesvos since I lived and taught on the island as an English teacher for three years until 1993. Such very fond, such very great, memories. Robert, UK.

My husband is from Petra,Lesvos and we spend at least one month there every summer visiting not only Petra, but also other beautiful villages on island. Unfortunately, it seems that we gonna miss it this summer and that makes us very sad. But I found your video this morning and I must say that this is the best one I've seen so far. We all enjoyed it so much and would like to thank you for making it and thank you for bringing a small piece of Lesvos in our UK home. I also want to send our regards to all Lesvos people with greatest wishes to see your lovely beaches and restaurants full next year! Many kisses!!!

Thanks for the documentary! My husband’s parents are from Skoutaros and we try to go to lesvos every summer for the kids to know their roots on that side. There’s still a lot for us to see snd explore on this huge island.

Lesvos is one of very few islands not spoilt by tourism like Santorini or Rhodes and Mikynos

Η Λέσβος είναι ένα φιλόξενο, γαλήνιο και συναρπαστικό νησί του οποίου οι κάτοικοι είναι κρέμες! Lesvos is a welcoming, peaceful and fascinating island whose inhabitants are creams!
