Leros Island Sightseeing

Leros Island Sightseeing

The island of Leros is known for its relaxing atmosphere and the family beaches. Most sightseeing on this small island of Dodecanese is restricted to nice villages, beaches and some interesting places to visit. The most characteristic spots of Leros are the traditional windmill in Agia Marina and the Medieval Castle on top of the hill above Pandeli village. Do not also miss the War Museum in Lakki, housed in a true World War II tunnel and the seaside village of Alinda, with the organized beach and the night bars. From the ports of Lakki and Agia Marina depart excursion boats to close islands, such as Leros and Lipsi.

Church of Agia Marina

Standing only 100m from the port, this beautiful church was constructed in the 1930s. It has a nice facade and two bell towers on each side.

Church of Agia Marina

The facade of the church has been built with black carved rocks from the tiny, uninhabited islet of Levithia and with red mosaic rocks from the bay of Kryfo. This lovely church celebrates on July 17th and a large religious festival (panigiri) takes place.
