Keros is a long beach with white sand and is characterized by its natural beauty. It is 2 km from the village Kalliopi. Keros hasturquoise waters and fine sand, is one of the most beautiful beaches, and is the number one place for water sports such as windsurfing and kite surfing in Lemnos. The wind starts early at noon and calmed down in the late afternoon. Because of the wind and the long distance from the capital, Keros is not much frequented. There are very few accommodations because of the protected ecosystem of the region and only some beach taverns. Several other nice beaches (e.g. Ag. Joannis Beach, Aliki Beach, Sfounos Beach, Panagia Beach) line up the coast up to the village Plaka. All are little frequented because they are not easily accessible and also affected by the strong winds but popular as naturist beaches.
