Sigri is one of the few unspoiled seaside villages of Lesvos, located on the western side of Lesvos, 90 km from the capital city of Mytilene. Truly “at the end of the road,” Sigri is a 2-hour drive from the airport. There are a number of beaches within walking distance of the village. The petrified forest, fortress and its proximity to the Ipsilo monastery and Eressos offer visitors a variety of daily excursions. Sigri remains uncommercialised, and visitors will experience traditional Greek village life during their stay here.
