The bay of Gera is an important wetland of unique beauty on the island of Lesvos. Surrounded by small, enchanting, quiet and organized beaches, picturesque villages and rich fauna and flora, this region is bound to win you over!
Pigadakia, the seaport of the village Kato Tritos, is a coastal region that extends to the northwest side of the bay.
The particularly narrow mouth of the bay gives the impression of a lake, while the morphology of the ground and the “lace-like” coastline is ideal for wonderful walks.
At a short distance from Pigadakia, several small and beautiful villages are located, such as Ippeios, Papados, Palaiokipos, Mesagros, Skopelos, Plakados, Perama as well as the traditional settlements of Agiasos and Asomatos.
In these villages you will come across picturesque taverns with exquisite meze (tidbits), while at Perama you can enjoy a wonderful boat tour in the quiet waters of the bay.
The wider region of Gera is known for its alternate scenery, making it ideal for nature-loving walks. You can choose among the hiking routes, cycling or horseback riding and discover the unique beauty of the scenery.
If you are a fan of fishing, the warm waters of the bay of Gera offer a variety of fish and seafood.
At a short distance from Pigadakia you will encounter wonderful beaches not only on the outside but also on the inside of the bay, such as the beach of Evreiaki, Tarti and Hagios Isidoros in Plomari, where you can enjoy swimming in the crystal clear waters of the island.
In the east coast of the bay of Gera, at a distance of 3 km from Pigadakia, you will find the thermal baths “Therma”. The water gushes from marble taps into two separate pools (men’s and women’s), creating the perfect conditions for a natural hydro massage. The temperature of the water is ideal and the bath is more than satisfying.
