According to mythology, Limnos was Hephaestus' workshop. Due to its strategic
position in the Aegean Sea, it played a very important role during the Neolothic
Period as the crossroad of people, culture and commerce. The capital of Limnos is situated near the ruins of the ancient city of Myrina where one can
visit the Byzantine Castle and many other ancient finds, take a walk through the pebbled streets and
the captains' traditional houses with their wooden balconies. The wonderful
beaches with the clear waters, the ancient ruins, dated from the Neolithic
to the Bronze age, and the Lemnian hospitality make the island an ideal
place for an interesting and relaxing vacation.
