​
The island is the 8th largest in Greece at approx 470 square kilometers.
It’s generally flat over the majority of the island making it accessible and relatively easy to get around and explore. Limnos has over 30 villages throughout the island, each with its own character and usually a taverna, cafe, or winery to try out too. On the way to one of its 100 spectacular beaches!
Getting Active
With a world-class kite surfing and windsurfing location at Keros Beach, these are some of the main activities people flock to the island for. Reliable winds during summer and an 8km stretch of Caribbean-like water make Keros a highlight for those into wind sports or just looking to hang out and watch some of the action.
Biking & SUPing
If you are a keen biker and you’ve got your own mountain bike than bring it with you. Now with Strava, it’s easy and a great way to explore Limnos. Most routes are based around Myrina but it’s also possible to chart your own course as you can pick your way from village to village and not get too lost! There is a good set of challenging rides to suit all levels.
​
SUPs - You can hire from the surf centers at Keros or if you have your gear it’s a great way to get away from the beachfront and explore the coast, coves, and secluded bays on your own. The beaches around Fanaraki and Havouli are particularly spectacular. With the new range of inflatable SUP’s, they’re a great addition to any traveller's kit.
