While it's not my top choice, this beach is definitely one of the best options for families and young children, as long as it's not affected by strong north winds and meltemias.

This beach is really something special now that they've built a road to it! There's even a tavern with live music! The sand is fine and the waves in the sea are just right. They've also provided parasols and benches for the bathers. I'm really grateful for all of this!

If you're visiting Lesvos, this beach is a must-see. It's surrounded by beautiful green mountains on three sides and offers stunning views of the azure blue Aegean sea. Due to its location, the temperature here is consistently 3-4 degrees cooler than other areas of Lesvos.
