The Greek island just as pretty as Santorini where most British touris | Europe | Travel

A small, remote Greek island offers views to rival several more popular tourist sites in the same area. Leros, located between Patmos and Kalymnos has been described as stunning and serene. The little-known tranquil spot is well worth discovering and is the perfect destination for those wanting to explore the path less travelled. 

It also offers options for those who want to travel to more than one island at a time as frequent ferry routes allow tourists to reach the above-mentioned islands and options including the tiny Lipsi, Rhodes or Kos. According to Greek Reporter, in ancient Leros, the goddess Artemis was honoured as the protector of wildlife and the hunt. The remains of a temple dedicated to Artemis can be found near Partheni, a site that highlights Leros’ historical and spiritual connection to the goddess.

Lush green valleys welcome intrepid travellers to the island alongside hilly landscapes and beautiful cliffs which drop into the sea. Up in the hills is the ancient village of Agia Marina, close to the must-see landmark of the impressive Medieval Castle of Panteli — built during the 11th century.

The island’s historic capital of Platanos is home to countless well-preserved neoclassical buildings that are still standing and are worth a look if you are on the island. Several places that shouldn’t be missed include the Turkish baths, and the church of Agia Paraskev, the ancient cathedral of the city.

Among the architectural selections on offer are the governor’s house and the public market, as well as the town hall and the public library.

The village of Lakki, which is a coastal town is different to many other Greek harbours. Tourists will find a well-laid-out settlement built in the architectural style known as ‘Italian razionalismo’, which was most popular in the 1930s.

Lakki’s original name was Porto Lago. Its natural bay was the feature that attracted the Italian occupying forces at the beginning of the 20th century and provided plenty of space for shipping. The area remains as evidence of the Italian attempt to convert the Dodecanese into a territory of Italy.

To reach Leros you can choose a ferry departing from Athens, and the island also features a small airport that allows you to get to the Greek capital in less than an hour. The island is a popular choice for walkers and hikers to view special spots such as the lighthouse.
