The 8th-largest island of Greece. it is mostly flat, hence its more than 30 sandy beaches. Famous for a variety of high quality hand made products & husbandry tradition. One of the island’s major attractions, is the castle! It was erected by the Byzantine emperor Andronikos I Komninos on the site of older walls, most probably ancient. In the 1970s, Rhodes donated to Lemnos three deer. Now there are some 50 to 70 deer living freely within the castle walls, adding to the pleasure of your visit. the castle divides Myrina in two seaside neighborhoods – the Romeiko (Greek) and Turkiko (Turkish) Yialo (shore). Enjoy your walks in each of them. Different views, same beauty!

century BC. The god Hephaistos was its protector and so was worshipped. Τhe theatre is just stunning!
Panagia Kakaviotissa chapel. Ιt is located inside a rock cavity at an altitude of 260 m. Ιt used to be a shelter for monks and hermits. This hidden gem has a striking location with impressive view to the sea and the mountainside of Lemnos. The best time to visit would be in the evening when the chapel is flooded by natural light.

Limnos Wind mills. 5 beautiful windmills can be found above the village of Kontias.
Thermal spa, close to Kornos village. Today the spa is abandoned but you can visit the place, drink the healing hot water for free not to mention filling some bottles and take an outdoors street shower spa!
