Built on the ruins of the ancient city of the same name, Mirina, the capital of Lemnos with the delightful houses of the seacaptains with their wooden balconies, with
pebbled streets, and kind people. Picturesque villages dot the island. Nea Koutali is an enchanting pine-forested area with wonderful water. Moudros, the island's second major town, has pretty houses and nice beaches. Poliohni has ruins dating from neolithic times and a few remnants from a bronze age settlement. Between Lemnos, Lesvos, and Siros, is a virgin island with only one village and great beaches; Agios Efstratios.
