About

Sigri Surf is an activity and watersports business based in the village of Sigri, on the remote and dramatically beautiful western tip of Lesvos. Sigri is one of the island's most windswept corners, where the Aegean and the prevailing northerly winds create conditions that are well suited to wind-driven water sports, making it a natural home for a surf-oriented outfitter.

Visitors can expect to find equipment rental, lessons, and guided sessions tailored to a range of skill levels, from first-timers curious about the sport to more experienced riders looking to make the most of the local conditions. The wild, unhurried atmosphere of Sigri — far from the busier resorts of Molyvos or Mytilene — adds a sense of adventure to any session on the water.

For travelers who want more than a beach holiday, Sigri Surf offers a reason to venture to this quieter, less-visited part of Lesvos and engage directly with the sea that defines the island's character. Combined with Sigri's natural harbor, the nearby petrified forest, and its relaxed tavernas, a stop here fits naturally into an active itinerary along the western coast.

Before you go

What to expect

The wind hits you before you reach the water at Sigri — this is one of Lesvos's genuinely breezy corners, and Sigri Surf puts those conditions to work with lessons and equipment for every level. Sessions take place on open water shaped by the northerly winds that funnel down this coast, and instructors handle the setup so you can focus on the ride. Between sessions, the natural harbour and the village's unhurried tavernas feel worlds away from the busier eastern resorts.

Best time to visit

Late spring through early autumn; the summer meltemi peaks in July and August, ideal for experienced riders but lively for beginners.

How to get there

Sigri is roughly a 90-minute drive from Mytilene — about 90 km by road winding west through olive groves and mountain villages to the far end of the island.
