Port info for the ferry route Limnos - Samothraki
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.
Samothrace attracts with numerous small, original beaches from the black pebble Kipos Beach to the popular Pachia Ammos. Poseidon is said to have watched the Battle of Troy from Mount Fengari. From the village of Profitis Ilias you can climb the high, bare granite mountain yourself and, on a clear day, see as far as Asia Minor. On the way back, the charming mountain village with its taverns invites you to linger.
Once Samothrace was an important trading center. Ruins of fortresses and towers tell of Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire. In the sanctuary of the Great Gods, the Kabirs, the famous Nike of Samothrace was once found, which is now in the Louvre.
