Tsilia Cove (Lesvos)

38° 58.8′ N · 26° 30.8′ E

A pretty cove east of Tarti with a beach, a chapel and ruins to explore by dinghy.

Practical

Grecosailor crew found it very safe in northerlies of 15–27 kn, anchored in 9 m with 45 m chain on seagrass and sand. Small, fills up — the next cove west, Ligonari (38.9774, 26.5062), has several large sand patches and makes a good alternative.

Best for

Quiet meltemi hideout near the Gulf of Gera

Season

Jun–Sep in northerlies
