On the bare west coast north of Sigri, down a dirt road, with a chapel and a seasonal taverna and otherwise nothing but volcanic rock and sea. The far west of Lesvos looks like a different country — treeless, wind-scoured, geologically strange — and this is the beach that goes with it. Bring shade and water.
