The traditional architecture of Lemnos can be admired at its best in the capital of the island, Myrina.
The architectural style of the island consists in houses, captain’s residences and two or three-storied mansions made of heavy stones, built according to the neoclassical style.
Those beautiful buildings have wooden balconies and slate or tiled roofs.
