Limnos Island

Limnos is a part of the northern Aegean island complex with a great history and natural beauty. It has been home to ancient and Byzantine cultures that have left their traces within the traditional villages as well as the archeological sites.

Its unique coastline creates numerous sandy beaches with crystal clear waters ideal for swimming and fishing.

Water activities like surfing and scuba diving are also becoming an indispensable part of the island’s culture, not only during the summer, but throughout the year.

The island of Limnos produces a variety of dairy products, fruit and vegetables and is especially known for “Kalathaki” cheese and Muscat wines.
Culinary delicacies include a variety of pescatarian dishes, traditional “flomaria” pasta and almond pastry sweets.

Myrina

Myrina, at the west side of Limnos, is the capital city and also the main port of the island. Its history begins 5000 years ago and refers to Greek, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman civilizations. Today Mirina is the main urban center of Limnos, with about five thousand people and active commerce. Its aesthetic is authentic and traditional and only a small walk can captivate you with its colors, smells and people’s openness. The central market, the port and Romeico beach are only some of the places you can visit while in Mirina, as well as the archaeological museum, the prehistoric city and the metropolitan church of Saint Trinity.

Last but not least, you will not fail to notice Mirina’s Kastro (or castle), the city’s main attraction. It was built in the beginning of the 12th century during the Byzantine times and it is the biggest to be found in all Aegean. It has been a point of civilisation and culture for many years and today one can see the remnants of its former glory. During a two hour walk inside its walls and cobblestones, the visitor gets the chance to meet Kastro’s main residents, the beautiful deer and wild goats, perfect as photo models!
