    Platanos was amazing

    Platanos was amazing - like everything at this beautiful island. We ate great Gyros there and enjoyed our holidays without meeting hundreds of tourists from Austria, Germany,....... only friendly Greek people. Wonderful. My dream is, to live on Leros in a few years....
