Excursions

Tarti Beach

beautiful and developed of the beaches is Tarti, which has crystal clear turquoise water and is located at the foot of a verdant hill. Thousands of tourists flock here every summer to enjoy, among other things, the abundant fresh fish served in the quaint tavernas. The beach-side service is not to be missed! Equally enchanting are the quiet bays of Tsilia, Ligonari, Tsafi, Fara and Yialiotissa, which are a boater’s paradise.

Perama The harbor and commercial center of the region, Perama connects Yera to Mytilene by a ferry that terminates at Kountouroudia. Perama was once home to the largest tannery in the Balkans, which closed some twenty years ago. There are other industrial buildings built in the architectural style of the period as well as Byzantine monuments.
