View of the mountains and the sea
Basically, you can make three walks from Tavari, either longer to the neighboring bays of Chrousos and Podaras on dusty roads or to a cliff at the western end of the bay. We will go here too. From the viewpoint there is a beautiful view not only of the port, the beach, but also far into the arid mountains in the southwest of Lesbos.
Original house in Tavari
Tavari is a small sleepy village where few tourists get lost outside of August. The beach is lined with a shaded promenade with several taverns. Occasionally you will see the original houses with a rich garden and a mountain ridge on the horizon in a gap on the edge. Thanks to the river, the surroundings are unusually green by local conditions.

View of the cliffs
From the top, a view further west opens up to the massive cliffs and small bends below them.
View of Mesótopos
