Good to know

Which beaches in Lesvos have a beach bar?

The beaches listed here are recorded as having a bar on the beach itself, not only a taverna in the village. Bars are seasonal and change hands, so confirm before making the trip.

Is a beach bar the same as an organized beach?

No. An organized beach has sunbeds and umbrellas, which a beach bar does not always come with — and some quiet beaches have a bar and nothing else. Open a beach to see exactly what it is recorded as having.

When is the sea calmest here?

Across 7 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.44 m in June, 0.53 m in July and 0.54 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.48 m in September. June is the calmest month of the season. We calculate these figures ourselves from European Copernicus wave-model data at 4.2 km resolution. They describe the sea offshore, not the shelter of an individual cove — a bay protected by a headland will usually be calmer than this.

How warm is the water, month by month?

Off 7 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 18.8 °C in May, 22.2 °C in June, 23.6 °C in July, 23.8 °C in August and 22.6 °C in September — mild at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 20.7 °C. August is the warmest month. Satellite measurements, 1995–2024, from a sea cell about 5 km offshore; shallow bays usually run warmer than this.

Wind and waves change every day. See live conditions for any of these beaches before you drive out.
