Apergousa: Lesvos’ Hidden Beach You Can Discover by Boat
Apergousa is not just another beach — it's a secluded gem best reached by sea. Far from the crowds, it awaits you with a sense of pure freedom and tranquility, just waiting to be discovered!
Some beaches you just visit… and some, you discover. Apergousa Beach in southern Lesvos belongs firmly in the second category. Tucked away between Vatera and Plomari, this small and secluded beach remains one of the island’s best-kept secrets. Far from the crowds and untouched by tourism, Apergousa offers a rare sense of freedom and serenity – a private slice of paradise.
Although you can technically reach it by land, the route is rough, time-consuming, and difficult to access. The best and most enjoyable way to experience Apergousa is by boat. Sailing to Apergousa with Fish&Chill Private Cruises means arriving in comfort, safety, and style. Whether you're a couple seeking a romantic getaway or a group of friends chasing adventure, Apergousa is an experience made for sea lovers.
What Makes Apergousa So Special?
Apergousa greets you with emerald green waters – crystal-clear and perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply floating in total peace. The beach is long, covered in fine pebbles, and surrounded by wild rock formations that offer natural shade.
The highlight of the area is Kommenos Vrahos – an impressive natural formation that splits the beach in two, creating two charming and distinct sides. For the more adventurous, a climbing rope allows for an easy ascent to the top of the rock. There, a natural cave with a sandy ground offers cool shade and complete tranquility — like a hidden retreat overlooking the endless blue. From the summit, the view of the sunset sinking into the sea is simply magical — an experience that stays etched in your memory.
But the true hidden treasure lies just beneath the rock. Swim around it and discover a secret sea cave – a place that feels like it belongs in a myth. Inside, the sea's sound softens, and a sense of calm and wonder wraps around you. At the end of the cave, a tiny white-pebble beach awaits. Lay back, disconnect, and let the magic of the moment sink in. This isn’t just a beach visit – it’s a discovery.
