Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Paralia Makara (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 Paralia Makara (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 Paralia Makara 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.

Not many travellers know this beach, except for the locals and those who have been recommended to visit by someone who has experienced it. The beach boasts of an unparalleled beauty that is hard to find elsewhere, and the sea is exceptionally clean, especially on Lesbos. If you want to enjoy swimming and the scenery, it's advisable to do so after 5 pm, unless you have the necessary protection to avoid getting sunburned since it's not a fully organized beach. Nonetheless, there is ample space for changing or showering. You can carry all the provisions you need and spend the whole day there.

This beach is stunningly secluded and features convenient shower facilities. However, visitors should be aware that there are no dining options such as a canteen or tavern available.

The beach has gray pebbles, which gives it a unique and natural look. The water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming. The sand is soft and comfortable to walk on. The beach is well-maintained and clean. However, I couldn't find a shower on the beach. I am not sure if the salt marshes grow on the beach or in a private area.

The beach is pleasant, but it doesn't quite live up to expectations. Additionally, the beach is covered in gray pebbles.

The beach is stunning and offers a serene atmosphere, but it tends to be less crowded. The view of the Aegean Sea is breathtaking, and the water is crystal clear and chilly. However, it's important to be cautious when swimming because the water gets deep quite quickly. To reach the beach, you'll need to take a rough dirt road that's approximately two kilometers long, located just before Apothika.
