Eressos and its twin beach village Skala Eresou are located in the southwest part of the Greek island of Lesvos. On you way to Eressos you drive through the harsh landscape between mountains until you come to a huge green valley with a beautiful village at the top, Eressos. At the end of a long, narrow, straight road is Skala Eresou, an alternative beach town with great restaurants, cafes, shops, bars, meditation, yoga, bodywork and many things you would not expect to find in a remote Greek island village.
Eressos is an international place and many people from around the world and other places in Greecechoose to live here, mostly in the area called Kambos. Kambos extends all the way from the inland village of Eressos up to the outskirts of the beach town of Skala Eresou.
There is also one of the best beaches in Greece, a 2km stretch of sand along the bottom of this lush fertile valley from mountain range to mountain range, dissected by a river, full of turtles, that has water even in the summer when it hasn’t rained in months. One half of the beach has bars, restaurants and cafes and the other half is a nudist beach, probably the biggest such beach in Greece and one of the largest in Europe.
The Festival Ground Osho Afroz Meditation Center
OSHO Afroz is located 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 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.
