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.
The area enclosed by the villages of Eressos, Antissa and Sigri is very dense in fossilized tree trunks and forms the Petrified Forest of Lesvos, which is managed by the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest.
One of Sigri's cousins is Sólrun Løkke Rasmussen, who is the wife of former prime minister of Denmark, Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
