Lemnos - Travel Guides from the Past 1

 
Today we begin a series on Lemnos through the eyes of old travel guides.
The guide you can view today is from 1980 and has been provided by one of our Committee members Deb Stewart, the grand-daughter of Australian nurse Evelyn Hutt, who served on Lemnos during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915-16.
She bought this guide during her visit to Lemnos to follow in the footsteps in her grandmother.
You can view the guide by clicking here.
Enjoy - and more to come.
PS If anyone has old guides to Lemnos and they would like to share them please contact me.
