Description of the attraction
Lambi Beach is an excellent beach in the bay of the same name on the northern coast of the Greek island of Patmos, about 14 km from the island's administrative center, Chora. The beach is dotted with small multi-colored pebbles that shine and shimmer in the sun and it is thanks to this play of light that the beach got its name - "lambi", which means "shiny" in Greek.
Lambi Beach is rightfully considered one of the best beaches on the island of Patmos, but it is not so easy to get to it, so it is never too crowded here, which will undoubtedly appeal to lovers of secluded relaxation away from civilization and noisy crowds of tourists. Lambi Beach can be reached by boat from the port of Skala (it will take about an hour to get expensive, however, the north wind known as "Meltemi" often rages here and this mode of transport is not always available), using a taxi or a rented car. There is no public transport to Lambi Beach. However, you can go on foot from the Kambos beach (at the crossroads behind Kambos, turn left), the road will take about half an hour.
You won't find the usual sun umbrellas and sun loungers on Lambi Beach, but there is a small bar and a cozy tavern where you can relax and dine while enjoying traditional local cuisine. You can hide from the scorching sun in the shade of a tamarisk growing along the beach.
You can diversify your beach vacation by visiting local attractions - the ruins of the ancient settlement of Platis Yialos and the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, erected in the 16th century.
