Lemnos, Greece - Sand Dunes - AtlasVisual
Lemnos Video Map:
Near the village Katalakkos in the northwest of Lemnos, are the Sand Dunes (Ammothines). They cover about 70,000 m², and are like standing in a desert -- a rare phenomenon in Greece, or Europe for that matter. Rolling hills of untouched sand surround you, some areas with low vegetation and some free of everything apart from sand. The sand dunes sweep toward the sea -- Gomati beach is about 2 km away from the middle of the sand dunes.

Lemnos, Greece - Kotsinas - AtlasVisual
Lemnos Video Map:
Kotsinas is a small village on the north coast of Lemnos. Situated on a beautiful bay, it has a harbor for small boats, a few taverns and a beach that back up to sand dunes. The Byzantine Castle of Kotsinas was built in 1207 by a Venetian family. Outside of the castle is the statue of a local heroine, Maroula, holding a sword. She was a local woman who helped to force Turkish invaders in 1478 to flee the island. Unfortunately, one year later, the Turks returned and ruled Lemnos until it rejoined Greece in 1912. The Church of Zoodochos Pigi (the Church of the Life-Giving Spring) is located here. You can walk down 64 steps below the church and drink from the water rushing out the spring.
