Eresos Tourism Association

Eresos was founded back in the 11th BC. century and its name remains the same since the Homeric years. It is a place of particular interest for its natural wealth, archaeological finds and spiritual tradition. Sappho, the most important and only female lyric poet of antiquity, was born here and she is celebrated until today.

Eresos is the ideal base to explore Lesvos island, starting from the picturesque Sigri with the unique Petrified Forest (UNESCO Global Geopark). But its most expensive jewel is its famous beach: 3 km of silver sand and water that changes color depending on the time of day! Here you can enjoy swimming in the clear waters, relax on the beach, or have fun with water sports.
