Lemnos is the 8th largest island in Greece, situated in the northern part of the Aegean Sea, with a population of around 17,000 inhabitants.
The principal town of the island and seat of the municipality is Myrina. Although the island is mostly flat (hence its more than 30 sand beaches), the west, and especially the northwest part, is rough and mountainous. The main towns are Myrina, on the western coast, and Moudros on the eastern shore of a large bay in the middle of the island.
Lemnos is well known for its wine, honey and cheese.
