Saint Isidorus
About this Beach
Agios Isidoros picks up where Plomari Beach leaves off, extending the coastline southward with increasing development, water sports facilities, and summer crowds. This is the more commercial face of the Plomari area — beach bars, sunbed rentals, and tourist-oriented restaurants replace the working-town character of Plomari proper. The water remains clean and the setting pleasant, backed by the hillside that climbs toward the village. For visitors who want an organised beach experience with reliable amenities close to the ouzo capital, Agios Isidoros delivers. Those seeking something quieter should continue further south, where the coast opens up into less-developed beaches.
Before you go
What to expect
Agios Isidoros has the feel of a beach that knows it's popular — sunbeds line the shore, water sports kit is available for hire, and beach bars serve cold drinks through the afternoon heat. The hillside rising behind the village gives the bay a sheltered quality, and the water is clear enough to see the sandy bottom. It suits visitors who want a full-service beach day rather than a quiet cove.
Best time to visit
Late June through early September for swimming; July and August bring the biggest crowds and the busiest beach-bar scene.
How to get there
From Mytilene, head south toward Plomari — the drive takes roughly 35 to 45 minutes. Agios Isidoros sits just beyond Plomari along the coastal road.
