Ifaistos Limnou B.C. (also known as: Ifestos Limnou B.C. or Hephaestus Lemnos B.C.) (Greek: Ήφαιστος Λήμνου K.A.E.) was a Greek professional basketball club that was based on the Greek island of Lemnos, in Myrina. The club was named after the Greek godHephaestus.
In the summer of 2017, Gymnastikos then merged with Faros Keratsiniou, and then took Faros' place in the upcoming top-tier level Greek Basket League's 2017–18 season.[5][6] Faros retained all of its amateur and junior clubs. Gymnastikos' club name then officially became Gymnastikos Syllogos Larissas Faros 2017, abbreviated as G.S.L. Faros 2017.
Ifaistos Lemnou was then officially created on 25 October 2017, under the ownership of Pantelis Boumbouras, and being based in Myrina, on the Greek island of Lemnos. In July 2018, Ifaistos merged with GSL Faros. After the merger of the two clubs, GSL Faros' club history was then returned to the club, which was re-named to Gymnastikos S. Larissas 1928. The club played its first official game against Peristeri, on 3 October 2018, in the Round 16 phase of the Greek Cup. Ifaistos lost the game, by a score of 91–81.
The club played its home games at the 1,260 seat capacity Nikos Samaras Indoor Hall, which is located in Myrina, on the Greek Island of Lemnos. The arena is named after the late Greek volleyball player Nikos Samaras.[7][8]
