Lemnos has wild beaches, where you can swim and sunbathe almost alone, a small nightlife scene and many cultural sites. Lemnos is the eighth largest island in Greece so it will have to pay the first round of tax increases in autumn 2015. But Lemnos is far less wealthy than many smaller islands. It has just over 3,000 beds for visitors – Rhodes, for example, has tens of thousands of beds. “We have been suffering economically in recent years and now we will suffer more,” said Lemnos Mayor, Dimitris Marinakis.
