OSHO Afroz is situated on the south-west coast of the Greek island of Lesvos near the traditional village of Eressos. It is to be found hidden among the shady olive groves of the Psinia plain and is surrounded by impressive volcanic mountains.
Just 2.5km away lies the beach of Eressos, which is one of the most beautiful and cleanest beaches in the Aegean Archipelago. It is host to bars, tavernas, coffee shops, water sports and a small outdoor cinema.
Further along there are quieter areas at the western end of the beach for those who seek solitude or naked bathing. Along the coastline are a variety of beaches that can be accessed by hired scooter, car or even a short walk.

What is important to know about dos and don’ts in Eressos, Greece?
Don’t waste water; use it carefully. There is a shortage of water in the area.
Keep the area clean and help to preserve the natural beauty by reducing and recycling your waste.
Please respect the rule that nudism is permitted only on the right half of the beach, beyond the cafes and restaurants.
