Lemnos Greece,Eastern Aegean: A collection of pictures in the island of Lemnos

Lemnos is part of the North-Eastern Aegean Islands and lies between the islands of Lesvos and Samothraki.

It is blessed with appealing landscapes, attractive beaches and villages which have kept their traditional atmosphere.

Because of its strategic position, the island was an important military base for a long time and its borders were closed to tourism; it is only very recently that holidaymakers come to visit the many archaeological sites and enjoy the tranquillity and unspoiled nature of Lemnos.

The island of Lemnos has some of the best beaches of the North-Eastern Aegean.

Many of Lemnos’s beaches are located near the capital, Myrina, such as the long sandy beach of Agios Ioannis surrounded by huge volcanic rocks, the uspoiled beach of Avlonas with fine sand and crystalline waters, the organised Platy Beach, the astonishing Thanos Beach with its azure waters, the long town beach Romaikos Yialos which proposes water sports facilities or the beach of Riha Nera (Shallow Waters). More fine beaches are available.
