DISCOVER LEMNOS

Few words about the island

Lemnos, Modern Greek Límnos, isolated Greek island and dímos (municipality), North Aegean (Modern Greek: Vóreio Aigaío) periféreia (region), Greece. It is situated in the Aegean Sea, midway between Mount Áthos (Ágio) in northeastern mainland Greece and the Turkish coast. Composed mainly of volcanic rock, its western region rises to 1,410 feet (430 metres) at Múrtzeflos Cape and is more rugged than the eastern portions, which are separated from the west by two deep inlets, Pourniá in the north and Moúdros (also called Moúdhrou) in the south. The 184-square-mile (476-square-kilometre) island is treeless in the west, but the valleys and eastern plains are fertile. The chief town and port, Mírina, on the west coast, is the seat of the metropolitan bishop of Lemnos and the island of Áyios Evstrátios to the south. The second town is Moúdros, on the bay of the same name, one of the best natural harbours in the Aegean. There is a major airfield on the island.

Excavations conducted by the Italian School in 1931–36 at Poliochni on the east coast revealed four ancient superimposed settlements: Early Bronze Age (c. 3000 bce); beneath it a Copper Age (c. 5000 bce) city; and beneath that the remains of two Neolithic cities, equipped with stone baths, representing the most advanced Neolithic civilization yet found in the Aegean. Near the ancient town of Hephaestia an extensive necropolis (cemetery) of the 8th to 6th century bce has been found. Located on Pourniás Bay, Hephaestia was the principal city of Lemnos in Classical times; today it is occupied by the hamlet of Palaiópolis.

Toward the end of the 6th century bce, the island was conquered by Otanes, a general of the Persian king Darius. From 477 Lemnos was a member of the Delian League, and later, except for a Spartan interlude, it was controlled by Athens. In 197 bce Rome declared it free but gave it over in 166 bce to Athens, which retained nominal possession of the island until the time of the Roman emperor Septimius Severus (193–211 ce).

In the 4th century the island had a Byzantine bishop and became a metropolitan see in the reign of Leo VI (reigned 928). It was settled by Venetian merchants in the 11th and 12th centuries, and in 1204, after disruption of the Byzantine Empire, the Venetians established themselves on the island. During the following centuries, rule alternated among Venice, Genoa, and the Turks, who after 1670 used it as a place for banishment of exiles. Lemnos joined the Greek kingdom after the Balkan Wars (1912–13). From Moúdros Bay in 1915 the Allies launched their unsuccessful invasion of the Dardanelles; in the same bay, the Allied armistice with Turkey was concluded in 1918. In Classical times Lemnian earth (Lemnia sphragis) was used as an astringent for snakebites and wounds and in the 16th century for the plague. This medicinal soil was dug ceremonially once a year from a mound near Hephaestia. Pop. (2001) 17,545; (2011) 16,992.

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
