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.
The ferry port on the island of Limnos offers connections to the other Greek islands of Chios, Samothrace, Fournoi, Patmos, Ikaria, Leros, Mykonos, Lesbos, Samos, Agios Efstratios and Syros, as well as to the ports of Piraeus, Lavrio, Thessaloniki, Alexandroupoli and Kavala on the Greek mainland. A total of 19 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Hellenic Seaways, SeaJets and Zante Ferries.
Syros
The name of the island originally means something like "rocky" - and that aptly describes what awaits you on Syros. In addition to the rugged natural formations, the island is home to the administrative center of the Cyclades. Accordingly, it is busy here all year round. Here you will especially meet Greeks from the mainland; international tourists are rather less to be found here. The cultural side is not neglected here either, and churches, a theater and a library are among the most important places on the island. If you are looking for beautiful beaches, you will find them on the southern and western side.
