It is no wonder that it is one of the best Greek islands for history. The stand-out historical attraction on the island is the Temple of Apollo, a vast marble doorway that stands as the island’s main focal point.
Visitors love the hiking scenery, old villages, and gorgeous beaches, but they also adore the rich history. Knossos Palace is one of the main historical focal points of the island, and it dates back to around 2000 to 1580 BC.
One of the focal points is Rhodes Medieval Old Town which is hugely popular with visitors. It is a combination of churches, restaurants, and mosques, and it is surrounded by ancient walls – truly stunning.
The island is home to the Archaeological Site of Delos, a top-rated historical attraction. These ruins symbolize the births of Artemis and Apollo’s birth, two of Zeus’s many children.
If you head to the north of Lemnos, you’ll find the Ancient Ifestia. The Pelasgians founded the area and made it the second-largest settlement in Lemnos during ancient times. You should also visit the ancient site of Kavirio which dates back to the 6th or 7th century BC.
