Leros Holidays
Leros holidays
Gentle Leros has a heavily indented coastline, resulting in plenty of sheltered coves and bays. These made Leros an attractive anchorage in WW2, and the Battle of Leros is commemorated here every September.
Inland, there are a surprising number of traditional villages for such a small island, as well as Crusader castles and Byzantine chapels to discover.
There are three beaches within the wide sweep of Alinda Bay and quiet Krithoni is the middle one. To the north is the small resort of Alinda; to the south the attractive little port of Ayia Marina, above which is the handsome capital Platanos topped by a Knight’s castle. Leros is an untouristic, very friendly and genuine island worthy of exploration, and one where you can still often find a small beach or cove to yourself.

The easiest way is via Athens with an afternoon connecting flight to the island and onward transfer to your accommodation - optimum flights from UK are early morning out and evening return. Alternatively via Kos with onward ferry transfer (usually catamaran-style vessel that takes c 90 mins - tickets included) but this inevitably means an overnight on arrival or departure in Kos Town.
