Nice report, thx vor the good read. We might go to Lesvos to do some herping in like one or two years or so. Did you by any chance come across an Ottoman Viper (Montivipera xanthina) in one of your numerous visits? Or any other snakes (or herps in gerneral)? Would love to hear about it and see some pictures if you did

I have seen an Ottoman Viper once in 2017, while walking in a valley just south of the village of Napi. Also in 2017 I saw a Caspian Whipsnake on the road near Faneromeni and a couple of times I saw a Dice Snake. The picture was taken at the Kalloni Pool in Skala Kallonis.

Really nice pictures, thanks for sharing 🤩🤩 the picture of the Dice Snake is a Grass Snake (Natrix natrix) though 🙂
