This beach is absolutely stunning and pleasantly uncrowded. The water is a lovely shade of blue and it reminds me of my home island. Additionally, there's a thicket nearby that's home to centuries-old fig trees, as well as hares and wild cats. You can spot their holes in the sand and catch a glimpse of them if you're lucky.

While it may not be among the top beaches in Lemnos, it boasts calm, turquoise waters on windless days. The standout feature is the absence of the usual beach bar commotion found on other beaches.
