About Mpalini
Mpalini is a beach on Lesbos, facing north. Land shelters it from winds from the east, the south-east, the south, and the south-west, so those winds leave the water flat here. Winds from the north, the north-east, and the north-west arrive over open sea and raise waves when they are strong. No road or path to it is mapped: it may be reachable only by boat or over rocks. Nothing to eat or drink is mapped within 300 m, so bring water and shade. The sea is warmest in August, at about 23 °C. It is above 22 °C from July to August.
Written from map data (OpenStreetMap contributors), our own measurement of the open sea around the beach and NOAA sea temperatures (1991-2020 averages).
When is it busy?
Typical visitor levels around Lesbos, month by month.
Lesbos is busiest in August. In May and October there are about half as many visitors, or fewer. For a flat sea and fewer people, the best months are June and September.
Visitor levels are nights spent in tourist accommodation in the North Aegean region (Eurostat, average of 2023–2025), compared with its busiest month. They show when the area is busy, not how many people are on a given beach.
