Eftalou Beach (Lesvos)

39° 22.7′ N · 26° 12.8′ E

A pebbly, mostly undeveloped beach 4 km east of Molyvos facing the Turkish coast, with clear water and the old Eftalou hot-spring bathhouse at its eastern end.

Practical

Coordinate is the beach polygon in OpenStreetMap. Visit Lesvos: most of the beach is a nature zone; the southern end has changing cabins, showers and bins; unmanaged. Taverna Eftalou (39.37819, 26.21352) and Golden Beach (Chrysi Akti, 39.37985, 26.21773) are on the shore. Exposed to the north — a calm-weather dinghy or taxi trip from Molyvos rather than an anchorage in the meltemi.
