Gateway to the volcanic island of Limnos in the northern Aegean.

Location

Limnos Island, Greece

Limnos Airport, also known as Myrina Airport, serves the island of Limnos in the northern Aegean Sea, Greece. It handles primarily domestic traffic connecting the island to Athens and Thessaloniki, with seasonal charter flights supporting summer tourism. The airport is operated by Fraport Greece as part of a concession agreement covering 14 regional Greek airports. Its single runway and modest facilities reflect the island's relatively limited year-round population and traffic volumes. Limnos is known for its unique landscape shaped by volcanic geology, and the airport serves as the primary air link for both residents and visitors exploring the island's beaches, medieval castle town of Myrina, and archaeological sites.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building handling both arrivals and departures.

Getting to & from

Taxis and rental cars are the primary means of ground transport from the airport to Myrina town and other parts of the island.
