⚓The cities on your itinerary:
➔ Your holiday on the island of the volcano god will be all about regeneration and peace. There are several hot springs scattered around the island, where you can spend your days recharging your batteries.
The landscape of Limnos changes depending on where you go; you will have at your disposal paths immersed in the Mediterranean maquis and drier landscapes with sand dunes. Since ancient times, the island has been used by its inhabitants to grow grapes and wheat.
Myrina, the island's main town and port, is protected by the imposing Byzantine fortress and offers unique scenery. Another characteristic place rich in history is the village of Moudros: The inhabitants are all fishermen who supply the island's tavernas and restaurants with fresh fish.
One of the highlights of the island are the heavenly beaches, with few tourists and mostly golden sand: Avlonas, Agios Thanos and Ioannis. We recommend that you visit the island by quad bike as many of the beaches are difficult to access.
➔You can spend the last hours of your holiday in the cosmopolitan city of Athens, but first you must disembark at the port of Piraeus.
You will find an impressive port area, the largest in Europe, offering the best services and cultural entertainment.
The main attractions around Piraeus are the Archaeological Museum and the Hellenic Maritime Museum. From here you can walk to the famous city of Athens and admire its ancient history.
Go on an adventure and discover the ancient ruins of the Acropolis, the ancient city from the Mycenaean period, which was the residence of the king. The Parthenon is the main monument of the Acropolis, not only the oldest in Greece, but also a place of worship for the various peoples who conquered the city.
In Athens, you can make the most of your last few hours of sunshine, as the city offers its tourists vast stretches of beaches. The closest to the port of Piraeus is Kalamachi beach, with its fine sand and transparent sea, to round off your holiday!
