Megalonisi ( Greek: Μεγαλονήσι), also Nisiopi ( Greek: Νησιώπη), is a long island near the west coast of the island Lesbos, North Aegean, Greece. [1] It is situated in front of Sigri's harbour, and stretches across the mouth of the bay and acts as a buffer to the prevailing winds. In the middle stands Megalonisi Lighthouse to help ships navigate in the rough east Aegean Sea. [2] [3]
