The quote from Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’ came to mind when we reached this Roman Aqueduct on Lesvos. It is situated near the village of Lambou Mili and not easy to get to – partly due to some highly misleading signage. It is also quite a scramble.

This three-tiered aqueduct is just outside the town of Moria. It is 170m long and has a maximum height of 26m.

The aqueduct, while it looks ancient, dates to the 18th century. It was built in the Roman style.

Three ancient olive trees keep company with an even older bridge, the famed Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct that once brought water to Nîmes.
