Open WWII museum

Leros’ seabed is practically an open WWII museum, featuring a number of shipwrecks and war planes sunk during that time. Among them, the torpedo ship “Queen Olga”, located at the area of Merikia, near Lakki.

Church of Agia Kioura

Located near the fishing village of Partheni, at the north of Leros, it is a preserved monument that boasts of unique frescoes created by the political prisoners who were exiled on the island.

Panagia Kavouradena (at the coastal village of Xirokambos, built at a scenic spot among the rocks) and Agios Isidoros (built on a rock at the area of Kokkali, it seems to emerge from the seawater).

The Castle of Lepides

Also known as Paleokastro, it is built at the hilltop of the settlement of Lepides, on the remains of an ancient acropolis.
