Limnos is an Elli-class frigate of the Hellenic Navy, and the third Greek warship to bear the name. The class is based on the Royal Netherlands Navy's Kortenaer class and was built in a Dutch shipyard; however, unlike later members of her class in the Hellenic Navy, she was not originally in Dutch service, but was sold directly to Greece. Limnos was constructed in Vlissingen, Netherlands, along with her sister ship Elli. The contract for her construction was signed in Athens in July 1981 and her commissioning took place on 18 September 1982.

The Best Attractions In Limnos

1. Limnos Beach Limnos
Lemnos, sometimes spelled Limnos , was a 13,000 ton Mississippi-class battleship originally built by the United States Navy in 1904–1908. As Idaho, she was purchased by the Greek Navy in 1914 and renamed Lemnos, along with her sister Mississippi, renamed Kilkis. Lemnos was named for the Battle of Lemnos, a crucial engagement of the First Balkan War. Armed with a main battery of four 12 in guns, Lemnos and her sister were the most powerful vessels in the Greek fleet. The ship saw limited action during World War I.

Welcome to Lemnos and Season 5 of Wanderlust Greece, the Digital Travel Show where guest presenters travel the length and breadth of Greece, broadcasting live on Discover Greece’s social media. #WanderlustGR | #DiscoverGreece

On Lemnos we learn the secret of being comfortable with exactly who you are. If you’re soil’s volcanic, then grow stumpy little vines that produce grapes packed with flavour. If you’re island landscape includes a remote rock formation on the top of a hill that half-resembles a natural shelter, then build a church there without a roof...

10 perfect Greek island holidays

Greece has so many idyllic islands with so many gorgeous beaches. Here are some of the choice destinations

Hydra, Saronic Gulf

Why? Wealthy Athenians head to charming Hydra for relaxing weekend breaks: cars, motorbikes and high-rise buildings are banned on the island. The architecture is unique for the region, with many art galleries and museums in 18th-century mansions.

What to do Hydra port is the only town; the interior is largely uninhabited. Narrow streets lead from the pretty harbour to the cathedral, museum, monasteries, churches and galleries. Donkeys and water taxis transport tourists to small villages and swimming spots along the coast (most beaches are rocky or pebbly).

Where to eat and stay Plenty of restaurants in Hydra serve local seafood, or try the little village of Kamini, a 40-minute walk around the headland, for traditional tavernas. The Orloff is a small boutique hotel converted from a historic house near the harbour.

MILOS

Why? This volcanic island has a spectacular lunar landscape of red, brown and white rocks, and around 70 equally colourful beaches: white, gold, red and grey. There are pretty whitewashed fishing villages and more rugged mountain settlements.

What to do Visit the ancient theatre, catacombs and windmills in Tripiti, where the Venus de Milo statue was found; take a caïque (fishing boat) tour of the island's coves; go to Plaka, the former capital and a great spot to watch the sunset; take in as many beaches as time allows, such as eerie, moonlike Sarakiniko.

Where to eat and stay Adamas, the main port, has a good selection of restaurants -- O Hamos (+30 228 702 1672) just outside town, serves delicious homemade dishes. Milos Windmill in Tripiti is an atmospheric self-catering place to stay (from £103 a night for two, i-escape.com).

How to get there Two flights a day from Athens, ferries from Piraeus.
