Reading the Agra caldera

The Agra volcanic caldera remains a current official geosite. It is best understood as a broad landform within the western Lesvos landscape, not as a fenced crater attraction with guaranteed visitor facilities.

Use Agra as the settlement reference point and stop only at safe, legal pull-offs or signed viewpoints.
