Lesvos Weather

Some visitors to Lesvos comment that web sites reporting Lesvos Weather don’t always reflect what is happening in the more popular tourist area of Anaxos, Petra and Molyvos.

Well, now you can see a local report from out weather station just outside Molyvos.

There is also a UV index reading to try and help you stay safe in the sun.

Our weather station is new and the software is experimental. The numbers will be correct but you might find from time to time that we have stopped updating. We started to collect data on 25 June 2014 so we don’t have much historical data.

We hope that the information on the Lesvos Weather webpage is useful and interesting.

Lesvos blue flag beaches 2014

The list of Lesvos blue flag beaches 2014 was published some weeks ago. We did not post the detail here because the blueflag.org website had one of the beaches in the wrong place on its location map. I originally contacted them 12 months ago to point out the issue. We have exchanged frequent very polite emails while they promised to sort the map out “quickly”.

08:15,Lesvos blue flag beaches 2014  28 May 2014 I visited the web site and the new list of Lesvos blue flag beaches 2014 was posted, but with Nyfida still in the wrong place (It was marked at Sigri which does not have a blue flag). Sadly I ran out of patience and sent a very abrupt email and posted the picture opposite on their facebook page together with some choice comments about our 12 month correspondence.

11:33, 28 May 2014 I received an email telling me that the problem has now been corrected. A quick check and behold, the map is now showing Nyfida blue flag beach at Nyfida and not Sigri.  It has only taken 12 months, but with a little pushing from molyvos.eu they have, at last put it right.

Lesvos blue flag beaches 2014

So…. The correct Lesvos blue flag beaches 2014 are:

  • Anaxos
  • Eftalou /Ag. Anargyroi
  • Kagia
  • Molyvos
  • Nyfida
  • Petra
  • Skala Eresou
  • Tsamakia

These are indeed great reasons to revisit Lesvos, they are also perfect to attract the first time visitor.
