Altis IRL

Recommended Posts

Hello people, maybe many of you guys already know you or maybe you guys didn't even bothered to check, but today I was randomly googling around and found altis and stratis in real life:

 

 Altis in real life name is Lemnos

Google Map Link: https://goo.gl/maps/30LBF

A youtube video about Myrina(Kavala), notice how accurate it is: http://youtu.be/e5urNdAogpA?t=1m45s 

Bohemia interactive actually had 2 guys arrested there for spyonage, and because of that they changed the name they wanted to give to the island(Limnos) and changed to what today is(Altis)

You can check Lemnos in google maps, unfortunately, Lemnos hasn't got streetview, but they still bothered to put the roads, and I can see, the game made a exact island, I mean, go see by yourselves.

 

 Facts about Lemnos(Altis): 

·         The distance from Myrina to Mourgos(Kavala to Pyrgos) is of 27,7 km

·         With the lack of money the greek government is cutting on funding the island: http://usilive.org/l...ut-down-island/ Therefore only having one hospital on the island and not good teachers.

·         Lemnos is the 8º biggest greek island

 Stratis in real life name is Agios Efstratios

You can search for it, or you can just go a little southwest on Lemnos, although it hasn't got a lot of stuff there(like the airfield) they kept the little islands on the north and north east, and there is only one tiny city.

 

I do not take credit for this post I found it on another forum and all credit goes to PedroIvo and Jevil

Wow man.  I was just checking and every little detail is there.  But it's so random that Bohemia chose this island to do the game.

To be honest for me it's just fun to visit in game.  When I look at the real life pictures I actually get depressed.  I do NOT see myself visiting that island any time soon lol. I mean I live in Puerto Rico.  I already have enough beaches and mountains as it is ;) Except we use US currency.

You can use google maps on Lemnos to find driving trip distances between different spots.  Just multiply by 0.75 to get the in-game distance.  At one point I figured out that whoever designed the legal runs (as they are now) seems to have tried to balance distance and payoff a bit (except plat and iron which are especially bad deals).
