Population: 17 thousand people. Area: 477 km2. capital: Myrina
40' from Athens by plane
9 hours from Lavrio & 3:30 hours from Kavala by ferry
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 (1118-1185) 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!
Top beaches:
Number one: Keros beach. 32 km north east of Myrina. Sandy, partly organized, secluded. The strong wind makes this long beach great for windsurfing and other water sports. Behind the cliffs there is the free camping spot. Ideal also for caravans.

century BC. The god Hephaistos was its protector and so was worshipped. Τhe theatre is just stunning!
Number two: Panagia Kakaviotissa chapel. Ιt is located inside a rock cavity at an altitude of 260 m. Ιt was founded in 1416 A.C. & used to be a shelter for monks and hermits. It requires a 20-minute walking through a path. 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.
