Specifically in Lemnos, General Floros received the Minister of National Defense Mr. Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos at the 130th Combat Squadron and together they visited the Readiness crews.

Then the Chief of the Hellenic National Defence General Staff went to the 88th Military Command, to the Naval Station of Lemnos and to the Patrol vessel Navmachos.

He then went to Agios Efstratios, where along with the Mayor Mrs. Maria Kakali he visited the headquarters of the Island Defense Administration.

Finally, he visited the Surveillance Outposts in Psara, Panagia and Agathonisi where he was welcomed by the Mayor Mr. Evangelos Kottoros.
