- Lemnos
The geological conditions, livestock and strong winds have contributed to the absence of forests. It is a volcanic site, with dunes covering an area of 70 acres and the largest and best preserved wetlands of the Mediterranean that host partridges, flamingos and other migratory birds.
Lemnos, according to legend, is the island of Hephaestus. It is said that his father Zeus threw him there, because he was taking the side of his mother Hera every time his parents were arguing. The residents of the island found him and treated him. As a return, Hephaestus taught them how to work metal. Hephaestus founded a laboratory in the island for creating weapons for the gods and various items for people.
