 [[File:Plomari a.JPG|thumb|left|View of the port.]]
-Plomari is located due south of [[Mount Olympus (Lesbos)|Mount Olympos]].   It offers [[scenic]] appeal as well as the presence of its famous [[ouzo]] [[distilling]] [[industry]]. Among several local brands, Varvayianni is the most famous but Yiannatsi, Arvanitou and Pitsiladi are thought to be its equal.  They can all be sampled at the traditional kafenia. The local festival (or "panigiri") season kicks off in mid-July with an ouzo [[festival]], and culminates towards the end month in [[Party|celebration]]s honouring Agios Haralambos and including such [[rural]] activities as horse race.  The [[seaside resort|seaside]] summer [[resort]] of Agios Isidoros lies on the east, two kilometers far from Plomari, while the picturesque seaside neighbourhood Ammoudeli, with its church of [[Saint Pantaleon|Agios Panteleimonas]], is located on the west.  Agios Isidoros has been voted as the seventh best [[beach]] of [[Greece]], in a voting that took place through the [[internet]] for the program of clean coasts.  West of Plomari 6&nbsp;km away you can reach [[Melinda]], a 700-metre sand-and-shingle [[beach]] at the mouth of a [[canyon]] choked with [[olive]] trees.  It is an alluring place, with sweeping views west towards the [[Vatera]] coast and the cape of Agios Fokas.  Another great beach is Tarti, about 22&nbsp;km from Plomari, is a 400-metre-wide cove.  Rocky capes gird it to either side, and the [[water]] in the [[bay]] is unique in colour and clarity.
