Sigri is a lovely little village with a few good tavernas and a good beach. There is an even better beach which is totally unspoilt close by at Faneromeni which is accessible without 4 wheel drive. However unless you want a very quiet holiday you would need a car as Sigri is isolated. Sunvil and Direct Greece both have property here. Forgot to mention the attractive castle which is in good condition.

Sigri is literally situated "Where the road ends" and is in the far north-west of Lesvos within an area of outstanding natural beauty. We chose it because the description in the Direct Greece brochure stated that it is "...peaceful, simple and unhurried..." and that is exactly what we found.
Sigri itself is a small fishing community and you immediately feel "at home". The village has two grocery shops , a butchers which doubles as a green grocers and a bakery - every day except Sunday you can buy freshly baked bread, pies and cakes. There are several beaches within walking distance with clear warm water and lovely soft sand, all are very quiet - all you will hear is the sheep & goat bells and the birds. (You need to ensure that you take a supply of water & food with you as there are no beach bars!) Our favourite was the "Sheep Beach" which has incredibly white sand and azure blue sea (who needs the bahamas?) There are also rare birds and terrapins in the pools around the beaches.
For a small village Sigri has lots to see - a Turkish Castle , 2 churches one of them Agia Triada was once a mosque and Agia Theofanis. 4 drinking water fountains and a Turkish House and the Petrifed Forest; caused when the land was covered with volcanic ash, preserving whole trees which are visible in the National Park near to Sigri. You can find small bits of petrifed wood in the sea at Sigri and Skala Eressos.
Because of its headland position Sigri is very windy and you do need to take care and remember to wear sunscreen, if one side of the village is windy the other is not so you just move to a beach the other side where the wind is least!
Sigri is well supplied with places to eat - all serving freshly caught fish and lobsters. Our favourites were Australia - a family run taverna which gets its name because the family once lived in Australia, Una Faccia una Razza ('one face one race') Italian restaurant serving mediterranean foods and lunchtime snacks, and Golden Key which is a very traditional taverna serving fish / moussaka and octopus baked in red wine (lovely). There are about 4 bars : Notia is the nicest playing chill out jazz and blues, and Anemos (run by the son of the family who run Australia) is very lively and well patonised by the locals.
Hiring a car is recommended as buses are infrequent, the roads are very windey and steep and not for the faint hearted driver at times! The Lemonas monastery is worth a visit, Skala Kalloni is a more populated beach resort , Kalloni itself is a nice little town. The most beautiful place we visited was Skala Sikamia with its harbour and whitewashed church of the Virgin Mary Mermaid. It is down a very steep road but well worth it.
On the whole we would certainly return to Lesvos we found it extremely traditional and unspoiled with masses of contrasting natural history .

Greeklass has summed it up very well. We returned last week and loved the island. One point about the roads, yes they are a bit hairy in places but they are in excellent condition. We covered a very relaxed 500 miles in our 2nd week. One of our favourite places was Gavathas on the north coast a beautiful shallow sandy bay and Acacia trees for shade, this is one island for a return visit.

Thank you for the very informative information
