The island has an active arts life, during summers especially. The romantic setting which it provides from the moment the sun rises from behind Mt. Ida to the moment it sets behind the island of Limnos has atracted many poets, artists, musicians and authors in recent years. Some hear the echoes of Homer’s poetry while listening to the sound of the relentless wind. There are several locations where artists’ works are exhibited. It all started with one gallery years ago, but has expanded vigorously with the addition of new venues, transforming the island into a nationally well-known arts center.
You can add an artistic dimension to your holiday by visiting these galleries at the end of a day spent under the sun and in the sea and just before delving into the night-life of the island which is always full of surprises.
