Miscellaneous

GOMATI (Beach) LEMNOS (LIMNOS)
  The coast at Gomati has one of the most sandy shores on the island. In this region, during the 14th century, many settlements existed and some farm-houses belonging to the Monasteries of Athos. The one named Theomitoros was the most important possession of Megisti Lavra on the island. Till 1928 a monk lived here. The small uninhabited island just north of Gomati, called Sirghisti - the Byzantine Sideritis - also belonged to the Monastery. Papia, which is a coast in the east, is known as an excellent fishing place.

Katalakko Community

KATALAKO (Village) LEMNOS (LIMNOS)
  Katalakko was not accidentally named so. Katalakkos in Greek means something put in a pit. The village fits its name as it is built in a region surrounded by many hills. In 1856 the church of Aghios Modestos was found. Aghios Modestos is the Saint who protects the stock-breeders, especially their cattle. On the 18th of December - when the Saint is honoured - many kechaghiades used to come to Kalakko from their mandres. Kechaghiades in the local dialect means stock-breeders and mandra is their farm house. These kechaghiades used to wear white breeches, a white cap and leather shoes called tservoulia. They danced local dances, like the kechaghiadikos and the patma.
