Lemnos

Lemnos, or ΛΕΜΝΟΣ, is an island in the Aegean Sea.

Up to time of the First Balkan War, it was part of the Ottoman Empire and used Turkish stamps. It was captured by the Greeks in 1912 with several Greek issues overprinted for it. It is a part of Greece today.

The stamps will be found in catalogs under occupation issues for Greece.
