calm waters
& beautiful beaches.
The Eastern Sporades, a chain of islands scattered across the northern Aegean Sea, are a sailor’s paradise, offering a mosaic of breathtaking landscapes, secluded anchorages, and vibrant cultural experiences. Among these jewels of the Aegean lies Limnos Island, a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.
Limnos Island, the mythical home of Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire and metalworking, is not only a haven for sailors but also a treasure trove of hidden coves and sheltered anchorages. From the bustling port of Myrina to the serene shores of Moudros, the island offers a range of anchorages to suit every sailor’s preference. Whether you seek a secluded haven for a romantic getaway, a protected cove for a family adventure, or a bustling harbour to meet fellow sailors, Limnos has something for everyone.

A heads-up for sailors: Key cards for electricity and water are no longer available from Cafe Nautilos. They can now be purchased from the kiosk located near the small inner harbour. The cost is €20, with a €15 refund when you return the key.
This is what sailors experienced:
This anchorage provides a bit more protection from strong northerly winds thanks to a small cliff that deflects the wind. The small harbour is frequented by fishing boats.

Myrina’s castle and sunset harbor views, the vast natural harbor of Moudros, broad sandy bays like Platy and Thanos, the sand dunes (Pachies Ammoudies), and sites such as Hephaistia and Poliochni.
By air via Athens to Limnos Airport near Myrina, or by ferry with regular routes from Piraeus and Kavala plus seasonal connections from other Aegean ports.
Myrina offers convenient short stays; Moudros Bay provides excellent all-round shelter with good sand/mud holding. Open bays can see swell with strong winds, and the NE shallows near Plaka need care.
Expect strong Meltemi in July–August; favor Moudros when it pipes up and watch gusts off headlands. Fuel, water, and provisions are easiest in Myrina and Moudros; smaller quays may have limited depths.
Base yourself in Myrina’s old town for dining and services, or in the Platy/Thanos beach area for easy beach time and quick taxi access back to the boat.
Taste local kalathaki cheese and island wines, visit the ancient sites of Poliochni and Hephaistia, and catch sunset at the island’s sand dunes.
