This tour begins with a drive to the east coast of Lemnos, where you'll visit the island's most significant archaeological site, Poliochni. Discovered by Italian archaeologists in 1930, Poliochni revealed seven distinct layers of civilization, one built upon the other. It is considered one of the largest urban centers of the Early Bronze Age and is recognized as Europe's first city with a basic social and civic structure. The Neolithic town predates the Egyptian dynasties, the Minoan Kingdom of Crete, and even the earliest levels of Troy. After exploring Poliochni, board your coach and head to the Chatzigeorgiou Estate. Known since antiquity for its high-quality wines, as Aristotle noted, Lemnos continues this tradition through the Chatzigeorgiou family, who have been perfecting the art of winemaking for four generations. During your visit, you will have the chance to sample five different wines, accompanied by local cheese and crackers. The tour concludes with a return to the port.

Embark on a scenic drive southward through Lemnos, arriving at the charming village of Thanos. From here, take a steep path up Mount Kakavos to reach the remarkable chapel of Panagia Kakaviotissa , also known as the roofless church. Nestled in a stunning and almost inaccessible cave atop a hill, surrounded by dramatic rock formations, this chapel offers panoramic views that will leave you in awe. After your visit, the tour continues to the Therma area, where you'll have the opportunity to taste the region's renowned local honey at Melichrysos , followed by a refreshing stop at a nearby café. Your journey will conclude with a return to the port.

Enjoy a scenic drive as you head toward the northern side of the island, passing through the village of Propouli, the smallest village on Lemnos Island. Continue on to Cape Faraklo, a stunning area of natural beauty known for its unique volcanic rock formations in various shapes. This cape is a true natural wonder, featuring a mix of red rocks and sand that create captivating landscapes. Your journey then takes you to the Gomati Bay Dunes, a remarkable and unexpected phenomenon-Europe's only desert. These striking sand dunes create an almost surreal, desert-like atmosphere, making it feel as though you've stepped into an African landscape rather than Greece. Finally, weather permitting, you'll have the chance to relax at one of Lemnos' finest beaches, where you can enjoy the sandy dunes and crystal-clear waters.

Get behind the wheel of a 4x4 vehicle (two guests per vehicle; at least one person must drive) to experience this great way to get off the beaten track and explore the untouched areas of Lemnos . Head off in a convoy from the port along the scenic beach roads and climb up to the Church of Aghios Thanassis , 1,000 feet above sea level. Take in the stunning views of Myrina, the castle and port in the distance and learn about the history of the island and the Orthodox religion and culture of Greece. Continue on, with a stop to pick some of the wild oregano that grows on the side of the mountain, and follow picturesque mountain roads to Gomati Beach for a swim and a beverage. After a short break, visit the natural phenomenon of the Gomati sand dunes and then stop in taverna in Gomati for a home-cooked lunch. Please note : The self-drive 4x4 vehicles are manual (stick shift) and must be driven by one of the participants. Bring a valid driver's license. There is a lead vehicle with a professional English-speaking guide. Minimum and maximum of two guests per vehicle. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, sunscreen and a hat.

This tour will commence with a drive to the East coast of Lemnos where the island's most important archaeological site of Poliochni lies. Here the Italian Archaeologists discovered back in 1930 seven different layers of civilization, one on the top of the other. Poliochni is considered one of the largest urban centers of the Early Bronze Age and the first city in Europe with a basic social and civic structure. The Neolithic town predates the Egyptian dynasties, the Minoan Kingdoms of Crete, and even the earliest level of Troy. Following your visit to Poliochni board your coach and head for Moudros , the second biggest town of the island and the first capital of Lemnos. There you will have some free time for a stroll along its seafront or to enjoy a coffee in one of the cafés. You will continue to the Allied Cemetery in Moudros. It is one of the two most important monuments the island has, of the Allied Expedition versus Gallipoli. Many victims of the 1st World War were buried here in clusters depending upon their nationality. From there you will return to Myrina and visit The Archaeological Museum of Lemnos , founded in 1961. In the museum you will see exhibits from excavations of the Italian Archaeological School in the ancient sites of Poliochni, Kavirio, Ifestia, and other spots all over the island. Also you will be acquainted with various historical periods of Lemnos (prehistoric, Age of Copper, Classical period). From the museum you will return to the port. Please note : Due to some walking on uneven surface in Poliochni, it is advisable to wear non-slip, comfortable shoes.

Explore the tiny uninhabited island of Delos, one of the most important archaeological sites in all Greece. Start your journey with a 45-minute ferry ride to this richly historic site.
