Some of the trees measure up to 22 meters in length and 3 meters in diameter, making them some of the largest petrified trees in the world. The intricate patterns and textures of the petrified wood are also a sight to behold, with swirling patterns and vibrant colors that have been preserved over millions of years.
The Petrified Forest of Lesvos is not only a natural wonder, but also an important archaeological site. The forest has been the site of numerous excavations and discoveries, including the remains of prehistoric animals and early human settlements. Visitors can learn about the history and geology of the forest at the on-site museum, which features exhibits and displays showcasing the unique features of the forest.
