Ρωμαϊκό Υδραγωγείο Μόριας

An incredible construct from antiquity. Definitely a worth a visit the road is kind of rough be aware.

An excellent example of roman engineering. There is a simple board in Greek and English with history. Driving through Moria is fun in a small car. Adequately signposted but if you miss one ask a local - do not depend on Google once in the village. The road out the other way is very passable with long stretches of concrete but some sections of unmade road - ok in daylight.

I had seen photos online but it was worth the visit in real life. The structure was massive and a fantastic photo opportunity. There was sufficient signage for us to find it, as some previous reviews stated, some roads are narrow and steep. There is no entry fee or tickets, the site is open. We also fed some cats near some bins on the way.

Stunning ancient aqueduct. There is no obvious parking but well worth visiting.

Outstanding. Such a special structure. It's even better if you come here for a concert during the Molyvos International Music Festival. The place is lit up and is alluring in the music in all of its glory.

Difficult drive to get there but really great to see, so it was worth it!

This is an unbelievably beautiful structure u just outside Moria about 15 minutes from Mytilene. They think ot was made in 2 A.D. due to the way it’s constructed but no one really knows. It’s well worth the drive, it’s a hidden gem. “Edit” 3 day after I went it was put on the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE LIST so hopefully they will put up better signage.

Visiting the Roman Aqueduct near Moria was definitely a highlight of my trip to Lesbos. Despite the clear signage in the village, the route there is a bit of an adventure with narrow roads and the occasional tight turn that can make you wonder if you’re heading the right way. But once you get there, you can drive right up to the aqueduct and park, which is a relief in the heat. The aqueduct itself is really impressive. I found online that it was built somewhere around the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD and it used to bring water from Mount Olympus all the way to Mytilini. Roughly around 26 kilometers, supplying a huge amount of water every day. I found out that it’s about 24.5 meters high and 170 meters long, with 17 arches and 16 marble pillars still standing tall. A lot of it has been restored but on the top you can find the original arches. It’s a bit of a shame that there isn’t more information at the site. You’d expect at least a sign explaining when it was built or how it worked, but there’s nothing like that. Still, it’s a fantastic place to visit, especially if you’re into history or want to see something unique that’s a bit off the beaten path. Bring some water, wear good shoes, and take a minute to appreciate this incredible piece of history.

The aqueduct is a remarkable feat of engineering and architecture. However, the access roads are in need of significant improvement. One can reach the site via the narrow roads of Moria village, or by taking the rocky road that branches off from the main highway. The latter option is not recommended.

Very impressive structure, very well maintained and in a very scenic area! The road to get there is a little difficult if you're going by car due to having to drive through tight village roads. But on foot or bike it's fine.
