- prozor
- The tavernas above the stones open early, the swimmers follow, and by midday the shore is full of people. Nationally the season runs June into autumn and between sunset and sunrise shooting is banned all year. On this stretch of coast it never opens at all.
- plima
- Twenty to thirty centimetres of level here, so ignore it. What does move is the ground swell out of the west: it arrives without wind, surges you back and forth between the boulders and makes shallow work tiring. After autumn rain the streams off the hills lay a brown layer over the first metre.
- zaklon
- West coast under the Kaspakas hills, with volcanic boulders walking out into the water. The northerly passes over the tops and off the land, so the surface right at the stones stays calm even when it is white outside; a west or north-west swell, though, breaks straight onto the slabs. Shooting here is prohibited.
- uvjeti
- It flattens over the boulders with any wind that has east in it — offshore here. On west and north-west the sea builds across the whole north Aegean and the entry over the slabs turns dangerous before the visibility even goes. You do not come down with a gun, though: the Myrina – Petasos site is closed.
- opasnost
- The shore belongs to the declared underwater archaeological site «Myrina, Petasos, Limnos» (ΦΕΚ 562/Β/1996): the speargun is outlawed under ΚΥΑ ΦΕΚ 336/Β/2004, the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities is in charge, and you take nothing off the bottom. Add two hundred metres from bathers, three hundred from the Myrina harbour works.
- pristup
- Asphalt from Myrina through Kaspakas, ten minutes, and you park by the tavernas built into the rock. Only the entry is awkward: the volcanic slabs are sharp and slippery at once, so go in with fins in hand. Short swim, the boulders start right away. You come here for a swim, not to hunt — it is banned.
Volcanic boulders and sand on the W coast, easy shore entry. ⚠️ It falls inside the declared underwater archaeological area of Myrina–Petassos (ΦΕΚ 562/Β/1996, ΦΕΚ 1569/Β/2002), where ΚΥΑ ΦΕΚ 336/Β/2004 prohibits spearfishing. Shore.
