Myrina

The Verdict
One of the best-looking harbour towns in the Aegean, under a Venetian castle, with a beach on either side of it.
Why go
Myrina sits under a Venetian castle on a headland between two bays: on one side the harbour where the ferries come in, on the other the long sandy beach of Romeikos Gialos, with a market street and tavernas between them. It is unusually good-looking for a working port town, the castle on the rock above is free to climb to, and everything in it is ten minutes apart on foot.
Understand the place
The capital of Limnos, built between two bays under a castle on a rocky headland, with a market street and a long sandy beach.
