# Long description

A map of Lesvos island positioned in relation to mainland Greece and Greece’s neighbouring countries. Greece is light-yellow in colour and the names of Greece’s seas are included: ‘IONIAN SEA’ on the left, ‘SEA OF CRETE’ at the bottom-middle, ‘MIRTOAN SEA’ just below the centre and ‘AEGEAN SEA’ just above the centre. To the north-west of Greece, Albania is coloured green and Macedonia is pink. Next to Macedonia, to the north-east of Greece, Bulgaria is coloured light green. On the east, Turkey is coloured pale purple. On the bottom-right of the map, a close-up of Lesvos is shown, in which the areas ‘Kara tepe camp’, ‘Moria camp’ and ‘Mitilini’ are labelled. At the bottom of the map is a key, running from 0 to 250 miles along the top, in increments of 50, and running from 0 to 350 kilometres along the bottom, also in increments of 50. 50 miles appears to be about one tenth of the map area.
