Χαραμίδα
⛱️ Sunbeds & umbrellas👨👩👧 Family-friendly
On the southern tip below Mytilene, a long open beach of sand and shingle with a couple of canteens and plenty of room. It takes the south wind, which keeps it cooler than the gulf beaches, and it is the closest real beach to the capital if you are staying in town without a car for long drives.
