Leros Island offers a lot of unique routes and locations where you can visit either via car or boat. Below we present the most important excursions.

Via Car

• Starting from Lakki, there are a lot of spots for relaxation, swimming, hiking and cycling towards the areas Merikia and Katsouni. In that area you will be able to find many isolated gulfs ideal for swimming, diving and fishing. Also, you will be able to observe the scattered remains of Italian buildings of World War II. At the heights of Gerakas and Patela, in Katsouni area, you will find the remains of the Italian fortifications and the bases of antiaircraft cannons.
• A popular area worth visiting is the Chapel of Agios Isidoros. This small chapel is located in a small islet that is connected to Leros with a long corridor built on the sea. From that point you can enjoy stunning views over the gulf of Gourna as well as towards the Aegean Sea. In addition, the area is recommended for those who want to enjoy unique sunsets.
• At the north side of the Island, at Partheni area, there are a lot of places to visit. The most important among them are the ancient stronghold, which probably was the temple of Goddess Diana.
