Lemnos is the eighth largest Greek island in the northeastern Aegean Sea and is located between Lesvos and Thasos. 

The island of Hephaestus has a rich ancient history of mythological Gods, Heroes and Legends that offers the visitors an experience that no one should miss. Many beautiful geographical phenomena reveal interesting rock formations from millions of years ago. Hot volcanic lava flooded out of the depths of the earth and froze to crystal as soon as it meets the sea waters. An earthly paradise waiting for you to discover, with one of our cars, the beaches with blue flags for Lemnos: Platy, Thanos, Evgatis – Zematas between Thanos – Kontias villages, Agios Ioannis at Kaspakas. Other popular beaches are Mikro Fanaraki and Megalo Fanaraki (Moudros, South of the island), Agios Ioannis (Kaspakas), Romeikos Gialos (Myrina), and Riha Nera (Myrina). Venturing North of the island you can visit the beaches in Panagia, Kotsinas, Atsiki and Gomati beach. If you’re a wave lover, then Keros has a wind surf and kite surf culture and also the camping accommodation.

The rare beauty with crystal clear waters and sandy beaches, a large coastline with a length of more than 310km , lakes (including a salt lake), stone-built villages, bird life and the resident deer, the Myrina town which stretches across two beautiful bays and in the centre is an imposing Kastro (castle) which sits on a large formation of volcanic rock, and more, make Lemnos a special place to be. Myrina is the capital and main port of Lemnos which charms visitors with the Venetian castle, the Neoclassical mansions, the Ottoman buildings and the narrow streets all within walking distance with a perfect view.
