Myrina

Built around a sheltered harbour on Lemnos’s west coast, Myrina grew into the island’s principal town and port. It faces the north-eastern Aegean, with the bays of Romeikos Gialos and Tourkikos Gialos meeting beneath a steep rocky headland. The Castle of Myrina occupies that promontory, a long-used defensive site whose walls remain the town’s dominant historic landmark. Below it, neoclassical waterfront houses and cafés give the port an urban character, while the island beyond is known for open, windswept terrain.
