Yes, in Greek it's pronounced LESVOS.

Sure, it is a Greek island. It is lovely, with nice picturesque settlements and good sea. Nothing to do with "lesbians", apart from the fact that Sappho was from there, an ancient greek poet who had a school for girls and dared challenge a man-ruled society by educating women and expressing her love for her students. Hence she was accused of having sexual relations with her students, something that is not at all certain. In fact, her students went off to marry after they finished her school. And the love she expressed in her poets can be the equivalent of Platonic love, which is the mental love between teacher and student.

Yes, Lesvos or Lesbos does exist and is a beautiful Greek island on the Aegean sea. The word lesbian is derived from this island because a citizen of ancient Lesvos named Sappho wrote the earliest known poems and songs about female homosexuality. Lesvos is also called Mytilene, famous for its olive oil and ouzo.

Is the largest Island in the Aegean Sea, Greece, Is believed that it was the pioneer of women homosexuality, not that only lesbians live there. If you want to go to a place where only, or at least the vast majority, live, go to Cathedral City near Palm Springs, Lezbo Heaven!
