Lemnos is an unspoiled Greek island with a remote position at the Northeast Aegean. Often overlooked as a sailing destination because of its distance to Athens (180 nautical miles) but admired by high-profile clients who prefer anonymity, privacy and relaxation. The shoreline reveals some important traditional villages and countless sites you cannot miss. The town of Myrina is the capital of Lemnos. A picturesque seaside settlement with cobblestone alleys and an imposing castle located at the highest point on the island. From the commands of the Byzantine Empire to the ruling of Venetians, the castle was fortified by Emperor Komnenos in 1886 AD and Filocalo Navigajiosi (the Great Duke of Lemnos) in the 13th century. Romeikos Gialos constitutes one of the main districts of Lemnos and houses the impressive Archaeological Museum presenting the historical development of the island. Other sights worth visiting to better understand the history and culture of the island include the Archaeological site of Hephaestus and the Caves of Philoctetes. According to mythology, the site of Hepheastia was the sanctuary of the great god of fire and metallurgy who landed in Lemnos by the Greek god Zeus and was worshiped throughout the classical years.

Lemnos is also known for its vast natural beauties, the wetland of Alyki and the Petrified Forest are fascinating sights to behold. The wetland is great for bird watching and observing flamingos, the forest is also a beautiful wonder that was turned into stone from volcanic activity millions of years ago. You can also plan a visit to the thermal springs of Lemnos, a natural source of water known for its therapeutic properties located on the slopes of Prophet Elias. Lemnos is widely known for its sand dunes, a field constituting one of the two deserts of Europe. Lemnos is also renowned for its wine, the village of Agios Dimitrios in the central part of the island hosts a traditional festival every October for the production of it. One of the most important diving centers in the Aegean is located in Nea Koutali, a charming village in the central part of the island. Once you have embraced the authentic aura of the island on the mainland, it is time for you to select your favorite boat and create a lifetime experience off the coast.
