Sightseeing and Landmarks
Sightseeing is one of the most popular tourist activity out there. There is not a country in the world that doesn’t have landmarks and tourists attractions. No matter if they are created by nature or humans. We love all places, no matter of their cultural value, historical significance or overall beauty and we love the odd ones even more.
The section is about world’s most interesting sightseeing locations. We write about both: popular locations, as well as hidden gems that even most locals don’t know about. We search for interesting spots by talking to locals or doing a researching the place on our own.
Our most favourite places to write about are: monuments, art galleries, historic and natural landmarks, unusual pubs and restaurants, guided tours, bus tours, museums and of course urban monuments.
No matter if you are planning a city break, a holiday or if you are a local, this section will offer new places for you to discover.

In the first two posts about Lemnos Island, I wrote about the three major archaeological sites on the eastern side of the island and the main architectural programs.
Lemnos Island has a unique understated appeal, which consists mainly of flat treeless lands and gently undulating plains, with little farms. Small mountains are present only in the north-western part of the island and constantly alternate with fertile regions of arable land. The soil is volcanic with sandy areas (locals call them am’da) or rocky ones. The typical Lemnian landscapes are countless fields of wheat and grain, interspersed with vast vineyards, pastures, and beaches.

You can find numerous representations of the Greek authentic lifestyle and architecture on the island, which withstand successfully mass tourism effects unlike the surrounding islands of Thassos and Samothraki.
