We had never heard of Leros until two friends spent a week there last year and recommended us to go. It was indeed a great island. I have to say I didn't enjoy the beaches very much because they were quite rocky but the whole vide of Leros hit me the moment I stepped foot on the island. We stayed in Alinda, a traditional fishing village which unfortunately had no ATMs and this caused us some pr...

General: Quiet peaceful unspoilt

Quiet, peaceful, unspoilt. Too many Greek islands think that tourists want discos, cheap alcohol and noise. We come to Greece for the pleasure of Greek culture and the joy of meeting Greek people. Stop trying to attract the same type of tourists as the other islands. A certain type of tourist will like what Leros has to offer. The lower orders that like noise and beer will go elsewhere. The on...

We loved this island because at that time it was so undeveloped and peaceful. No night life except excellent taverns beautiful quiet beaches and the friendliest people.

The local restaurants were all overlooking or actually situated on the b...

General: Worth a visit

Thu, 22 May 2008 08:11:21 GMT

I went to Leros with my wife and son.
We had found from the internet a pension located in the capital of the island; more precisely it was in the old part of the capital, which is also the most beautiful part and the most traditional; the new part, where the port is, is quite touristy and lacks a bit of charm.
In the old part of the village we made some nice walks and found some v...
