Similar to many beaches in the bay, the surface water here is warmer, and the bottom is predominantly sandy. The water remains shallow for a considerable distance from the shore. This makes it an excellent beach for kids, as the shallow water extends far out. My son, who prefers to snorkel only where he can stand, enjoyed snorkeling over long distances here.
The Peramas Geras windmill is located just outside the Papados settlement of Geras, directly facing the Surlaga tannery. Historically, it was used to grind oak for the tannery's purposes.
The tomato sauce is absolutely fantastic. It's hands down the best I've ever had at a restaurant. The host is incredibly charming and clearly has a deep love for both his restaurant and his tomatoes.
The beach spans 8 kilometers and is considered the finest and most extensive beach in Lesvos. Although there are several beach bars, there is still ample room for those who prefer to swim without the crowds. Overall, it is a serene location.
This beach, situated in close proximity to the bustling city of Mytinini, is just about average. While the water is clear and suitable for swimming, the beach itself is nothing to write home about. It's made up of pebbles, but not the kind that are worth collecting as souvenirs. In fact, the quality of the pebbles is quite poor. Don't expect to sink your toes into soft sand here.
This charming beach is a favorite among visitors, boasting pristine waters that are so clear you can see straight to the bottom. It's conveniently located near both Mytilini city and Plomari Town, making it easily accessible for travelers. The beach is well-maintained and has plenty of amenities, including sunbeds, umbrellas, and showers. Additionally, there are a variety of top-notch tavernas and restaurants to choose from, ensuring that visitors can enjoy a delicious meal after a day in the sun. Plomari itself is a picturesque and peaceful town that's perfect for a relaxing vacation, and it's also the birthplace of the world-renowned ouzo drink.
