Found on the southern part of the Aegean Sea, Leros is a relatively small Greek island with a population of just over 7000 people. There are numerous crossings from the port each day, nearly all of them are used to connect Leros with the neighbouring Greek islands. Famous for the myriad of beaches along the shoreline, Leros is a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer months. The island is renowned for its wide variation of beaches, offering a number of sand and pebble beaches made for visitors to bask in the warm weather. It is the idyllic setting for those wishing to enjoy peace and quiet, whilst experiencing authentic Greek culture. There is also diving and snorkelling opportunities at some of the beaches to add some adventure to the serene lifestyle. Away from the beaches, much like many of the Greek islands, Leros has an abundance of green valleys and picturesque bays to admire whilst enjoying some traditional Greek food. For those hoping to sample some of the island’s history, the archaeology museum and the churches are popular with tourists; the city of Platanos also hosts some interesting, rustic buildings. All of the major cities that are designed to accommodate tourists are situated fairly close to the port, the capital city of Agia Marina can be reached within an hour long walk. For the cities a little further from the port, there are bus services available, stopping directly outside the ferry terminal.
Limnos harbour lays in the city of Myrina and is widely regarded as one of the prettiest in Greece; it can be found to the west of the Greek mainland and to the north of the Aegean Sea. There are copious ferry routes from Limnos, nearly all of which head to other Greek Islands or to coastal resorts on the Greek mainland. The harbour is one of the busiest and most popular areas of the island, situated near a long street full completely of retail outlets. At the pier itself, the castle is found in the middle and separates the harbour into two; the southern side boasts harbour beach, whereas the north is filled with bars, clubs and young people creating an energetic vibe. Away from the buzzing nightlife and sandy beaches, there are natural landmarks to visit free of charge. The Petrified Forest is arguably the most highly regarded attraction in Limnos; the unusual sight of mass vegetation being destroyed by a volcanic eruption will forever remain in the memory bank. As well as the forest, the Waterfalls of Kaspaka are well worth a visit, especially in the spring months when there is still plenty of water. Many days can be spent leisurely exploring the area, perfect for those hoping for a relaxing holiday in stunning surroundings. Public transport isn’t Limnos’ best feature; the buses only leave two times a day from four destinations, and they are generally only used to take permanent residents to do their weekly shopping. The port is only a 20 minute walk from the town centre of Myrina, or there are taxis available should it be too hot to walk.
