On the northern end of the island, along a gravel road and at a distance of 4 km from the village of Panagia, lies a gorgeous beach named Zemata that stretches out for 2 kilometers. The fine, smooth sand and aqua-green waters, along with the trees and green landscape will surely grab your attention! 

The beach, which is popular and draws a great number of people, is well-maintained and includes umbrellas, lounge chairs, a beach bar, and a few small tavernas, which are so close to the water you can almost feel the waves lapping your feet.  Zemata Beach (pronounced zeh-may-ta) also has ideal conditions for water sports, providing beachgoers with equipment such as volleyballs and nets.           

Along the southwestern coastline of Limnos, at a distance of a mere 4 km from the capital city Myrina, lies the beautiful beach of Thanos.  Popular for its picturesque landscape, which includes volcanic rocks, pure white sand and calm, ever-clear waters, Thanos Beach is the perfect place to spend your day.  The beach attracts thousands of tourists, locals and visitors alike each year, and offers complimentary use of umbrellas and lounge chairs. 

Make Thanos Beach your one-stop travel destination; here you’ll find all your needed amenities, such as traditional tavernas and restaurants for a bite to eat, cafes, bars and cantinas, places to stay overnight and a myriad of quaint shops, where you’ll find everything from your customary souvenir refrigerator magnet to homemade jams, wines and cheeses. 

If you are looking for a nice place to go swimming in the city of Myrina, you don’t need to look further than Romeikos Gialos Beach.  Set against the backdrop of a majestic, medieval castle, the shallow, crystal-clear waters and shade under the umbrellas make Romeikos Gialos Beach a wonderful spot for beachgoers.  The sand is suitable for beachside sports like volleyball and paddle ball, as well as other children’s games. 

After a refreshing and invigorating swim, make some time in your plans to peruse through the old mansions that distinctly decorate the surrounding neighborhoods, and to dine at one of the local tavernas, trying their tantalizing, Limnian dishes.        

Just 6 km from downtown Myrina, in the village of Kaspaka, is the long and far-reaching Agios Ioannis beach, where on the sea cliff stands a little, yet beautiful, church named after St. John.  The front of the church faces the sea, as if it is gazing out onto the big, blue Aegean.  All around you’ll find volcanic rocks, and when meshed with the light, sandy beach and the transparent, clear waters, give the landscape a captivating and attractive effect you won’t find anywhere else. 

The beach is conveniently located right off the main road, making your trip there quite easy.  At Agios Ioannis Beach and in Kaspaka there are plenty of tourist amenities, facilities and services, such as the beach bar, free-of-charge umbrellas and lounge chairs, as well as places to stay overnight and traditional-kitchen tavernas that serve up local and fresh seafood.
