Community of Agios Eustratios
There are three ways to discover the enchantment of the island; by the sea with a craft, on foot through different routes or by car.
There aren’t taxis in the island and so it will be good to have your own car or to rent one from Lemnos. Daily, there is a ferry-boat transit from Lemnos to Agios Efstratios, but also from other ports. A rural network of about 50km of passable earth-roads leads to various directions, in order to discover the island’s beauties.

Myrinas
The heart of Lemnos beats in its capital, the idyllic Myrina, which lies between two creeks: the cosmopolitan Romeikos (Greek) Seashore and Turkish Seashore or Port, which is washed by the sea of Nea Madytos and surrounded by the commercial and Venetian port. As capital of the island, it had already started to flourish since Turkish domination. So, Turkish garrison and families of Turks were living nearby the fort –that’s why it is called Turkish Seashore. The other side of the castle, which was settled by Greeks, around the Cathedral and their church, was called Romeikos Seashore.
