About Leros...
Leros, a lovely verdant island of low sweeping hills, fertile valleys and
scattered villages, has to be one of Greece's best kept secrets. Gentler and greener than
Kalymnos, her nearest neighbour, the island has an indefinable charm and wonderful
countryside ranging from wild hills to gentle pastures and a coastline so indented that
each turn reveals little harbours, coves and beaches on all sides. This is a perfect
varied countryside for walkers, cyclists, explorers and it is one of the few small Greek
islands where it is still possible to find a beach or cove which is very much 'off the
beaten track'.
Leros also has two of the busiest, bustling towns, with a thriving Greek
community which does not depend on tourism to survive, so the atmosphere is very friendly
and very Greek. Occupied over the centuries by the Turks and Italians, fought over by the
Germans and the British. Leros was once maligned by the media and Greek island guidebooks
because it is home to two Greek mental hospitals (which you will probably never notice as
they are phased out anyway). Very good news for those in the know as this marvellous
island look likely to remain one of the most genuine and unspoilt islands in Greece. |
