Audio Guide of Agios Isidoros Beach

As a public beach, Agios Isidoros is open 24 hours a day all year round. It is located just 2 km from Plomari; you can easily get there by car, taxi, or even with a 30-minute walk from the village.

No, access to Agios Isidoros Beach is completely free for all visitors. However, the use of sunbeds and umbrellas usually requires a payment or a minimum purchase at the beach bars that manage those areas.

We recommend setting aside at least half a day (about 3 or 4 hours) to fully enjoy the sun and its crystal-clear waters without rushing. Many visitors choose to spend the whole day and make the most of the nearby taverns for lunch.

This beach is not only famous for taking its name from the nearby chapel of Saint Isidore, but also for having been voted the seventh-best beach in Greece. It is a natural emblem of Lesbos thanks to its exceptional cleanliness and preserved surroundings.

The ideal season is between June and September; we suggest arriving early in the morning (before 10:00 AM) to get the best spot. In addition, the sea is usually calmer in the morning before the afternoon breeze picks up.

Although there are paved areas near the hotels and restaurants, direct access to the water can be difficult because of the mix of sand and pebbles. It is recommended to go with someone, as there are not always specialized ramps all the way to the shoreline.

You are very close to Plomari, the world capital of ouzo, so a visit to the famous Barbayannis Ouzo Museum is a must. You can also stroll around the picturesque harbor of Plomari and enjoy its traditional architecture.

Bring water shoes, as the pebbles on the shore can be uncomfortable when entering the sea. For a fuller experience of the area’s history and culture, don’t forget to check out an immersive audio guide to accompany you on your visit.
