Walk through Gavathas Bay

Start your tour of Gavathas Bay in the slightly sleepy town of the same name. At the very end is a small harbor from where you can see the local white church.

From the port you can see the hills to the west of the city, where you can go for a short walk with beautiful views of the bay.

The biggest attraction here, however, is an abandoned rusted tank standing just a short distance from the church

Gavathas Beach is one of the longest beaches on the island of Lesbos. It has a very gradual slope, so it is also ideal for families with children. In addition, due to the fact that it is relatively far from the main road, it is also quite little visited.

About halfway up the bay, just behind the road is a small private chapel and a few holiday homes.

The southern part of Gavathas Bay is completely deserted. There are also small rocks and deposits of seagrass.

But he climbs up to climb up between the machy and enjoy the beautiful panorama of the bay

You can also come across a footpath that will take you to the very top of the peninsula, where there is a small chapel

The chapel itself looks slightly deserted, moreover behind the fence, so its meaning escapes me a bit, anyway there is a nice view of the side bay a little further, so it makes sense to come here.

There is also a nice view of the island from here. The distance, but it deceives, is almost half a kilometer away, so think twice before going on a cruise.

From the lookout you can see the neighboring bay of Kampos, even more deserted than Gavathas.
