Myrina is the capital and main port of Lemnos and counts on 4500 inhabitants. The settlement stretches around two beautiful bays and between stands the imposing Venetian castle surrounded by massive formations of volcanic rock. Visitors are charmed by
the old neoclassical mansions, Ottoman buildings and fountains, traditional houses, narrow streets and modern constructions that compose the setting of Myrina. Along the waterfront lie plenty of restaurants and traditional taverns. Between the picturesque
alleys of Myrina are found numerous local shops and cafes. One of the most beautiful churches of Myrina is Panagia Kokoviotissa perched at the top of the cliff. Behind the beach of Riha Nera lies the prehistoric settlement of Myrina.
