My time in Lemnos, Greece

[Vengy 93]

I was in Greece traveling around, with only an hour flight away from Altis (Lemnos) and an free day I bought a ticket and rented a car. Needless to say I drove across the island without using the GPS lol. 
 

Here are a few of the pics if anyone’s interested:

Small church, they were everywhere and in most cases in exact locations found in the game:

Of course the airport:

Salt flats was the most intriguing location, this time of the year it is a wet land with hundreds of pink flamingos. I crashed my rental car, got stuck, and scared away all the flamingos…I don’t really have good pics.

Hope you all enjoyed

Absolutely mental to see it all in person and to think that we spend way to many hours driving around this place on a game which is actually a real place

Yeah, Sofia looked abandon af, the main road going through and the church was the only recognizable part of the town.

Pretty cool seeing this. I remember someone posting a pic of the entire island as their flight went over but its cool to see these places. That picture of "kavala" is badass as well, never realised how similar the buildings ingame are to the irl ones.

It was a pretty surreal experience, didn’t expect it to look so much like the game.

Yeah it’s developed, the only thing that they lack from a first world perspective is waste water facilities. With that said the island is old, run down and full of farmers and retired people.

Idk, didn’t make it down that way, I wouldn’t think it’s off limits unless there was military bases.

@ Vengy was the island of Lemnos actually nice/cool other than the Arma 3 aspect? The city of Kavala looks like a nice Greek town. I feel like it wouldn't be touristy. Curious how the English was in town.

Yeah, depends what your version of nice is. Kavala was definitely a very peaceful, friendly,  and authentic Greek town and of all the places I visited in Greece it was one of tiny favorites (food was great too). Most of the other towns on the island seemed very run down and poor. Tourism isn’t popular, one of the locals told me I was the second American they saw this season but they do get quite a few Europeans for their wind surfing. The English was noticeably worse on the island compared to Athens, the young people were the only ones that could speak it fluently. Sadly I only had one day on the island, if I could go back I would have made it a two day trip.
