Lemnos (Limnos) is a Greek island that is off the beaten track, far from the hype that more popular, jet set islands are associated with. A place that is still very much closely linked to its traditional roots, where life goes on as it and with urbanization drawing people from islands to cities, it came to be that some houses in villages were vacated, leaving buildings empty and unmaintained over the years. This was the case for the village of Varos, in the heart of Lemnos. Lemnos’ stunning beaches are all so beautiful that each one is a strong contender for the title of best beach on the island!
