This is a special year for all of us, as it has been ten years since we first organized the Arion International Guitar Festival in Molyvos.

A calling from the other Aegean, where Greece gazes across the East, from Molyvos, brought all these years to us, musicians from distant places, artists who come to meet each other in front of the endless horizon, under the olive trees and the bright shine of Lesvos, in the village that gave birth to Arion the most famous kitharode of ancient Greece.

In the first week of August, if you walk around Molyvos, the young guitarists at the corners of the cobbled streets are not like usual visitors; it seems that their presence carries the familiarity of a memory.
