Charamida Bay (Lesvos)

39° 1.0′ N · 26° 33.6′ E

A long sandy beach bay next door to Agios Ermogenis on Lesvos' south-east tip, with plenty of room to anchor.

Practical

Swimming buoys take up much of the sand, but there is good sand behind them; one crew preferred the eastern side, with more sand and fewer people (Grecosailor). Beach canteen ashore (OpenStreetMap). Like Agios Ermogenis, sheltered from the north and open to the south.

Best for

Overflow anchorage for Agios Ermogenis; long sandy beach

Season

Settled weather or northerlies
