If you know how to appreciate the sublime, silent and empty beauty of a desert then you can take a tour of the Greek island of Lemnos and meet the only desert in Greece. It is here and it is a kind of poetic lunar landscape.
Woody It is a small island that is north of the Aegean Sea and if you see a map you realize that it is a point where three continents meet: Asia, Europe and Africa. And many say that this desert in Lemnos It is not only the only desert in Greece but the only desert in Europe. Will be? We found it in the north of the island, in an area called Gomati. It's not huge, but rather small but it is a desert at the end.
El Lemnos desert It has about seven hectares, is somewhat far from the sea and has sand everywhere and some dunes that the wind makes change place and shape. The gold of the desert with the blue of the sea make up a postcard of great beauty. Is there flora here or are we facing a desert that looks like the Gobi or the Sahara? Yes, there is some vegetation.
The flora of the Lemnos desert It is made up of pretty little flowers, thyme, wild olive trees and some willows.
