Tourist Guide of Limnos

The island of Limnos is just what one needs for peaceful vacationing and a little soul-searching. Myrina, the capital and port of the island sprawls out around two sandy bays: the Port and the Romaikos Gialos which is also the center of the town's nightlife. Myrina may not be overly touristy but it is one of the most pleasant island capitals in the North Aegean with poplar, Limnos, Lemnos, Romaeikos Gialosplane, and eucalyptus trees decorating the cobblestone streets, setting off the stately townhouses, many of which are well-preserved.

The Castle, built in the 13th century, with the most impressive position of any North Aegean defense bastion lies in ruins but makes for a wonderful sunset stroll with an excellent view of western Limnos. The Metropolis, The Karatzadeios Library and the Temple to Artemidos are the ''must" attractions in Myrina, as is a trip to the hot mineral springs at Therma Iphaestou. One shouldn't miss seeing the prosfygiko or refugee village of Aghios Dimtrios which is the 'mother' of all sites on Limnos. At the head village of Atsikis there is a confectionery cooperative run by a group of highly enthusiastic island women and a soft drink factory.
