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.
