The Municipality of Gera is situated among the green hills and the olive- trees. It consists of 6 villages, which are the villages Papados, Scopelos, Mesagros, Plakados, Perama and Paleokipos. The Municipality of Gera is one of the 13 enlarged municipalities of Lesvos. The Municipality of Gera has always been a united geographical department and has already been a municipality since the beginning of the century. Apart from its natural beauty, this geographical department has a great historical and cultural importance.

     The Municipality of Gera is 20 kilometres from the capital of the island. The communication is made with buses and it is regular. The trip from the capital to the Municipality of Gera is wonderful.

   The climate of the area is very healthy with mild winters and fresh summers because of the north winds that blow in the area as well as in the whole Aegean Sea. Its inhabitants have as their main occupation the cultivation of the olive-trees, the fishing and the recently developed tourism, which is still being developed.

    During the period of the Turkish occupation, the bathhouse was renovated, fact proved by its internal decoration, accordingly to the standards of the Turkish baths (hamam ). Today the bathhouse is open to the public for use, under the supervision of Mytilene's Municipality. The water's temperature is 39,5 C, recommended for the therapy of various diseases. 

    Just prefer the fantastic areas of Evriaki, Tarti and Perama for swimming and entertainment at their traditional taverns.

    Finally, not far way from the Bay, we find the site of Kountouridia, where we can travel to the other side of the Bay by small boats…
