Its beautiful and unique landscape offers inspiration to artists. The coastline is fringed with golden sandy beaches, surrounded by amazing rock formations – a great study in shape and texture.
Lemnos is a primeval place. The visitor understands this at first glance once he visits the sights – the geological park of Faraklo with its extraordinary lava formations. The spectacular sand dunes of Gomati – the Greek Sahara, the vast, sparkling “whiteness” of the wetlands of Keros, host to many migrating birds. Several architectural sights offer an insight into ancient times – Ancient Poliohni, the oldest known European Parliament, the ancient theatre of Ifestia, the cave of Filoctetes and Kaviria. According to ancient Greek mythology, Lemnos was home to the Amazons and ancient god Hephaestus’ copper workshop.
