Skala Eresou is the long, dark-sand beach below Eresos village, its shoreline lined with sunset tavernas and beach bars and backed by a small wetland lake known for turtles. The atmosphere here is notably open and inclusive, shaped in part by the annual International Women’s Festival that draws visitors connecting the beach to Sappho’s birthplace just up the hill.
What to See and Do
- the long dark-sand beach, one of the largest on the island
- the wetland/turtle lake just behind the beach
- sunset tavernas and beach bars along the shorefront
- the Acropolis/Vigla hill above the beach, linked to ancient Eresos
