Join us as we embark on an unforgettable journey to the Sappho Women's Festival on the enchanting island of Lesbos, Greece! From a whirlwind layover in Athens—where we raced to the Acropolis for ancient ruins and epic views—to touching down in Lesbos, the birthplace of Sappho, the iconic lesbian poet, this trip is packed with adventure, history, and a whole lot of feta.
We’ll take you through our first moments on the island, from checking into our charming hotel (with views that took our breath away) to savoring our first real Greek meal—complete with fresh figs that left us speechless. At the festival, we dive into the vibrant community of women from around the world, meeting co-founders Wendy Jansen and Ioanna Savva, who share their vision for this celebration of diversity, inclusivity, and connection.
From exploring the festival’s open-air main stage, The Cinema, to sampling local delicacies (yes, including fish eyeballs), this episode is a love letter to Lesbos, Sappho’s legacy, and the power of women coming together. Get ready for laughter, inspiration, and a whole lot of wanderlust as we experience the magic of the Sappho Women's Festival!
