Moria
In the 2nd century AD the Roman rulers of Lesvos built an aqueduct to bring water
the 26km from the springs of Mt Olympos around the Gulf of Gera to Mitilene.
The main surviving section of eleven three tiered arches
spans a shallow valley about a kilometre outside Moria.
Moria is served by local buses from Mitilene,
though it might be unwise to depend on these if you
are hoping to catch the last bus of the day back to Molivos or Petra.
A few kilometres away, hidden at the bottom of a deep valley in the forest
near Lambou Mili on the Mitilene-Kalloni road,
there are the bottom arches of another span bridging a small river.
It is about 2km along an unsurfaced forest road, which leaves the main road
(there is a small signpost in Greek and English)
about 3˝km west of Lambou Mili in the direction of Kalloni.
