Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Apothikes beach (Lesbos island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Apothikes beach (Lesbos island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Apothikes beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

Fantastic shoreline with sandy shores and lush foliage for cover. Unparalleled panorama of the bay overlooking Nyfida and the quaint chapel of Agios Nikolaos across the way.

I was not a fan of the location due to the abundance of sea urchins scattered throughout the area.

Great seaside spot, slightly removed from Apothika village. Accessible via a gravel road that is navigable. The beach is lined with trees providing shade, and amenities include showers and dressing rooms. Perfect for families with children, as the water remains shallow up to 1.5 meters deep 20 meters from the shore. Keep in mind that during the summer months, strong winds may cause challenging swimming conditions due to waves crashing onto the beach.
