3Leros – A Haven for History Lovers

Part of the Dodecanese archipelago, Leros is a small but historically rich island that remains largely off the radar for most tourists. With its unique blend of Italian, Ottoman, and Greek influences, Leros offers a distinctive cultural experience.

Visitors can explore the island’s charming capital, Platanos, with its neoclassical architecture, or visit the imposing Castle of Panteli for sweeping views of the island. Leros is also known for its excellent diving sites, including shipwrecks from World War II. The island’s unspoiled beaches, such as Alinda and Blefoutis, provide a quiet retreat for those looking to relax by the sea.
