For many years, Lemnos remained a well-kept secret among surfers and nature lovers who enjoy exploring pristine landscapes. However, Lemnos has been steadily gaining popularity each year, attracting new visitors and leading to an increased demand for ferry tickets. The best time to book your tickets depends on when you plan to travel to Lemnos:

Summer months (June-September): as Lemnos becomes more widely known as an ideal holiday destination, demand for ferry tickets is higher during summer. If you do not wish to miss out on discovering the island’s beauty, we recommend booking your tickets 1-2 months in advance, especially if you plan to travel with your vehicle.

Rest of the year: during fall and winter, demand is lower, so you can book tickets just a few days before your trip.

Lemnos, also known as the island of Hephaestus, is a northeastern Aegean destination full of treasures, enchanting visitors with its diverse natural landscape and relaxing atmosphere. In Myrina, the capital of Lemnos, the impressive Venetian castle welcomes travelers, offering panoramic sea views. The authentic heart of the island beats in its quaint villages and settlements, while golden beaches like Thanos and Keros are considered top choices for water sports enthusiasts.

The island’s unique terrain, shaped by ancient volcanic activity, has created stunning landscapes, such as the sand dunes near Gomati beach, which resemble a desert. Lemnos is also a hiker’s paradise, and its local products, such as the kalathaki limnou cheese and flomaria (traditional pasta), have established it as a renowned gastronomic destination.

To enjoy a smooth ferry trip and a pleasant stay in Lemnos, here are some useful travel tips:

• During summer, traffic to the major Greek ports can be heavy, so we recommend arriving at the port at least 1 hour before departure, especially if you are traveling with your vehicle.
• The duration of a ferry trip to Lemnos varies depending on the departure port, but it tends to be quite lengthy, especially on routes from Piraeus or Lavrio. We advise you to book a cabin to make your journey more comfortable.
• Lemnos is a large island with many attractions and points of interest. While Lemnos boasts an extensive local bus network, bringing or renting a vehicle will allow you to explore the island at your own pace.
• For an island hopping experience in the North Aegean, you can travel from Lemnos to nearby North Aegean islands like Chios and Samothrace.
