Limnos island stands isolated in the northeastern Aegean, the only neighbour of Limnos is Agios Efstratios and as an island is still unaffected by modern tourism in compare with other islands in Aegean. Limnos island is a sizeable agricultural and military one island whose remoteness and peculiar ferry schedules protected it until the mid-1990s from most aspects of the holiday trade.

On the eastern side of Limnos there are lakes, which are visited by spectacular flocks of flamingos, and the beautiful austere central plain which is filled with spring flowers. When we are refer to Limnos ‘ s beaches the superb sandy ones comes to our minds those who are lying near the capital Myrina and the others in more distant corners of the island.

The port capital of Limnos called Myrina- Kastro as mentioned above and it is located on the west coast. Myrina is more a provincial market town rather than a resort. It’s population is considered to be about five thousand inhabitants. MYRINA – Kastro, the port-capital on the west coast, has the ethos of a provincial market town with about five thousand inhabitants. Myrina is pleasantly low-key, if not especially picturesque, apart from a core neighborhood of old stone houses dating from the Ottoman era, and the ornate Neoclassical mansions of Romeikos Yialos. The live picture of fishermen sip Greek coffee while unfolding their nets and colorful caiques dotting the harbour, is characteristic of the island.

Above the town on the castle’s overgrown slopes, it’s a different story, where shy, fleet-footed deer dart after dark, even venturing down to the agora on winter nights.
