Things to do with kids in Lemnos

Lemnos Best Beaches, Watersports and Outdoor Activities

• Discover the empty beaches of the west of the island – Avlonas is pristine.

• Also in the west, discover the town beaches of Romeïkós Yialós and Toúrkikos Yialós and Rihá Nerá. Kondias is the most appealing of the towns in this area.

• Venture to the east, which is more bucolic – low-lying, with gorgeous vegetation, creeks and sandy beaches. The best beach is probably Keros, where you can try your hand at windsurfing and kitesurfing, and there are several interesting grottos in the area.

• Get active with sailing, cycling, walking, birdwatching (including flamingoes on lakes Alyki and Chortarolimni) and horse-riding.

• Walk in the the Petrified Forest near Moudros, with fossilised trunks, leaves, fruit and palm-tree roots dating from 20-22 million years ago.

Lemnos History and Culture

• Tour the capital Myrina – a small, quiet place with a few Ottoman remains, old stone mansions, a seaside promenade, a very good archaeological museum and a castle in a dramatic position on the peninsula, with its own deer population.

• Tour the important archaeological sites of Hephaestia, prehistoric capital of the Pelasgians, and Poliochni, believed to be Europe's oldest Neolithic city. There are also some thermal springs near Hephaestia, while the village of Káspakas is famed for its pretty waterfalls.

• Try pottery, farm visits and cookery lessons.

Eating in Lemnos

Food in Lemnos is as authentically Greek as it gets, although most hotels offer global favourites too.

Local specialities include the cheeses kalathaki and melíchloro, thyme honey, and the famed Muscat of Limnos, a sweet white wine. Don't miss the fresh fish, either.

When to go to Lemnos

The best time to go to Lemnos is May, June and mid September to October, avoiding the heat of high summer – making this island a great bet for both the May and the October half terms.

Lemnos has a similar climate to the other islands of the north-eastern Aegean but is drier. Strong winds occasionally blow but rainfall is very rare. The hottest times are late July and August. Even in high season you won't affected by the mad rush associated with some of the other Greek islands, but it might be too hot with very young kids.
