Polichnitos-Vatera came from the amalgamation of the beautiful villages and settlements of Polichnitos – Lisvori – Batera – Brisa – Nyfida – Basiliki – Stavros. It is located in the south-western part of the island (45Km from the capital Mytilini) divided between olive groves and pine forests, springs with clear water and wonderful beaches.
Its name derives from the combination of the words “Many traces” because according to oral tradition, many small villages (traces) mainly along the coast, for fear of the Saracen Pirates, were forced to move to the current location which is far from the sea, it is surrounded by heights and is invisible, both from the Gulf of Kalloni and from the Aegean Sea.
