Petrified forest - Lesvos, Greece.
Lesvos Petrified Forest and Sigri Beach
Petrified Forest in Sigri, Island of Lesvos
The Petrified Forest was created during the intense volcanic activity that occurred throughout the greater northeastern Aegean region 20 million years ago. The volcanic eruptions at that time caused enormous quantities of lava and ash to flow from volcanic vents, covering the center of Lesvos around these vents with molten lava, and the more distant regions with a thick layer of ash.
Abundant petrified tree-trunks in very good condition can be seen submerged in the sea at a depth of 30 meters. The largest concentration of these has been recorded west of the little island of Nisiopi, opposite Sigri. Tree trunks with 2½-meter diameters have been found on the seabed. These finds corroborate the theory of the continuity of the Petrified Forest in this particular underwater region.
In addition to tree trunks, systematic excavations here in recent years have uncovered petrified roots, fruit, branches and leaves.

Lesbos, Greek Emerald Island. Waterfalls, Petrified Trees & Waterfalls.
Lesbos or sometimes referred to as Lesvos, is most famous for it's association with the word Lesbian. The Greek Poet Sappho was widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets and was given names such as the Tenth Muse and The Poetess She was also known to have loved women in every sense of the word!
Lesbos is also famous for it's Petrified forest, which 20 million years ago had all it's trees turned to stone after a volcanic eruption and subsequent floods caused a process called permineralization.
Waterfalls and beautiful monasteries and landscape make this island special and one that is a must for any bucket list.
