Lesvos, the place that in the distant geological past was covered by dense tropical forests, today is the island of intense contrasts with such a rich biodiversity. Without doubt it deserves the characterization "botanical paradise of the Aegean”.

Christmas is on the corner and we are all looking for ways to spend our time creatively and happily with our loved ones, especially this year when we stay home for a long time.

In the educational program ‘’Volcanoes and volcanic eruptions in Lesvos’’, the children are invited to travel millions of years ago to the geological past of Lesvos, of the Aegean and of Greece and to become familiar with phenomena and processes that cannot be directly observed, such as the volcanic phenomenon.

The educational program ‘’The Deinotherium and the animals of the Petrified Forest of Lesvos’’ is inspired by the findings of paleontological research in Lesvos and introduces children with a pleasant and fun way to the world of  the animals of the Petrified Forest of Lesvos.

In the educational program ‘’Minerals and rocks of Lesvos’’, the children examine minerals and rocks, most of them unknown for their valuable properties and their usefulness in everyday life.

In the educational program ‘’Lesvos Geopark: The Island of nature and culture’’, the children discover the geological, natural, cultural and archaeological monuments of Lesvos during their tour in the island of Lesvos. They experience unique tasting experiences of traditional products and travel mentally millions of years back to the geological past of the Aegean and the Greek region, when Greece was part of a large ocean, the Ocean of Tethys.
