Lemnos will be a good place for holidays for those who love walking. There are many roads and paths, linking all the main settlements with architectural and natural attractions. While climbing the “Despotis” (Bishop’s) Hill, called Mosychlos in antiquity, you can not only get fitter but also take pictures of amazing views. During your holidays on Lemnos, you can go for a walk for several hours or go on a camping trip for several days, where you can explore all the attractions of the island.
Don’t like to walk? Then you can rent a mountain bike. There are many bicycle paths and the traffic is light, so you can easily ride a bicycle here. There are some secluded bays where you can get only by sea. In that case, you can rent a boat if you have enough experience. Moreover, you can use the services of a water taxi. Be sure to go on a sightseeing tour around Lemnos to enjoy its magnificent views.
If you want not only to have beach holidays and see the main historical attractions on Lemnos but take care of your health, don’t pass by Greek thermae. However, they are considered to be a local attraction. They were built in the first years of the Turkish domination on the island and now they are restored. According to the ancient legends, Hephaestus was sent to the Therma by the locals in order to heal his injuries after the fall from Olympos. The water of thermae treats skin diseases and rheumatic illnesses. So, be sure to try this alternative way of recreation.
