Limnos is one of the Greek North Eastern Aegean islands located midway between the Athos Peninsula on mainland Greece and the west coast of Turkey near the Straits of the Dardanelles. 
Limnos island's strategic location means it has long been an important military base and it's still home to a large air force contingent. The islanders' reliance on the military rather than foreign visitors as a source of income, coupled with the relative remoteness of Limnos, have enabled the island to remain virtually unscathed by mass tourism. But increasing numbers of foreign holidaymakers are now arriving on Limnos attracted by the tranquility of the place, its many fine beaches and important archaeological sites.
During high season there are regular Olympic Airways flights connecting Limnos with Athens, Thessaloniki and Lesvos. The new civilian airport is 19 kilometres east of the capital Myrina and shares a runway with Limnos island's air force base. There are regular ferry services to and from the mainland ports of Kavala, Rafina, Piraeus, Thessaloniki and Alexandroupolis. Hydrofoil services to the mainland via Samothraki are less frequent and tend to be unreliable. If you're coming by boat you'll arrive at Myrina on the west coast - a bustling port town dominated by the ruins of a 13 th century Venetian castle. The town may not be one of the prettiest in the Aegean but it retains its essentially Greek character without the proliferation of tourist trappings which have dented the charm of so many island capitals. Old fashioned "kafeneia" bars  line the cobbled streets along with whitewashed stone houses, imposing Turkish mansions and back street shops selling local produce such as island wine and herbal honey. Limnos is a volcanic island and the richness of its soil allows for the production of some excellent wines, particularly dry white, rose and retsina
