⛱️ Sunbeds & umbrellas🤿 Good snorkelling👨👩👧 Family-friendly
A small sandy bay with a white chapel on the rocks, at the mouth of the Gulf of Gera about twenty minutes south of Mytilene. It is the city's favourite short escape, so it fills at weekends; on a weekday morning it is one of the prettiest places on this coast. Sunbeds, a canteen, and rocks worth swimming around at both ends.
