Limnos
With 480 km², Limnos is one of the ten largest islands in Greece. The rather desert-like landscape in the northwest with its ruins from antiquity gives a vague idea of the importance Limnos must have once had in pre-Christian times. Today the island offers you unique natural treasures to discover. Among the sights are the castle of Myrina, the island's capital, and the Stone Age settlement of Poliochni. It is dated back to several millennia before the birth of Christ and is considered the oldest city in Europe. Ancient treasures, salt lakes and surfing paradises in the east of the island, the volcanic rocks of Falakro as well as wide beaches make Limnos a vacation highlight in the Aegean Sea.
The ferry port on the island of Limnos offers connections to the other Greek islands of Chios, Samothrace, Fournoi, Patmos, Ikaria, Leros, Mykonos, Lesbos, Samos, Agios Efstratios and Syros, as well as to the ports of Piraeus, Lavrio, Thessaloniki, Alexandroupoli and Kavala on the Greek mainland. A total of 19 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Hellenic Seaways, SeaJets and Zante Ferries.
Leros
Vacation without the sometimes perceived as annoying tourist boom you can make and enjoy on Leros. On the 75 km² island in the southern Aegean Sea live less than 10,000 inhabitants. The small, one could say idyllic village of Panteli is considered the most beautiful place on the island. Bathing at Panteli Beach is possible in the small bay at any time of the year. The Agios Isidoros Chapel is the insider tip on an island hike, as well as the crab church of Xirokambos in the south of the island. A day trip with the pirate ship to the small island of Arki is a must for your vacation on Leros. The excursion boat departs from Agia Marina in the morning and heads for different destinations every weekday.
The ferry port on the island of Leros offers connections to the other Greek islands of Agathonisi, Chios, Rhodes, Fournoi, Symi, Arki, Ikaria, Syros, Kasos, Limnos, Lesbos, Samos, Lipsi, Karpathos, Patmos, Kalymnos, Kos and Astypalea, as well as to the ports of Piraeus and Kavala on the Greek mainland. A total of 22 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Sky Marine, Dodekanisos Seaways, Blue Star Ferries, Dentur Avrasya and Hellenic Seaways.
