General Information

Set off from eastern Plomari and, at a distance of just two kilometers from the great capital of ouzo, find yourself in Agios Isidoros, a wonderful, well-maintained beach with crystalline waters and pebbles in all colours of the rainbow. The Blue Flag beach ranks among the seven best beaches in the entire country of Greece and boasts one of the longest shorelines in the whole of Lesvos. A dip in its cool, emerald waters is an unimaginably rejuvenating experience.

Agios Isidoros is justifiably popular in the summer months. Privileged by its close proximity to Plomari, a small range of tourist amenities and a magnificent, well-maintained shore, Agios Isidoros is the perfect hideaway whether you wish to spend a relaxing day on the beach or combine your outing with a meal in one of the few seaside restaurants right by the shore.

Ammoudeli, a beach in the west of Plomari, is a nice spot for swimming.
