The capital of Limnos, a northern island in the Aegean Sea, Myrina stretches across a pair of sparkling bays that are separated by a 12th-century kastro (castle) atop an outcrop of volcanic rock. Stroll narrow streets and a waterfront rich with cafes and taverns for a feast of psári (fish), htapothi sti skhara (grilled octopus) and kalamarakia tiganita (fried calamari), leaving room for a Limnos take on baklava called samsades. Satisfy dueling passions – history and shopping – at a neoclassical archaeological museum overlooking Romeïkos Gialos Beach and lively agora (shopping precinct).
