The Ottoman Baths of Mithymna in Lesbos is the most important landmark dating back to the period of Ottoman rule on the island, as it was previously associated with the daily life of the inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire, and was used by men and women on different days during the week. These baths continued to function until about the mid-1990s, when they were restored and became a municipal museum, open to both local and foreign visitors wishing to learn about this Ottoman landmark.
