Introduction A mountainous, green island with high cliffs and many small bays and villages, Leros is a popular holiday resort which still has kept most of its genuine atmosphere. One of the reasons is that it is not too dependent on tourism.
Many of the buildings on the island are built in Italian style, but you'll also find those typically Greek little white houses with blue doors and windows.
The people on the island live off agriculture, some work in the island's hospitals, and in the summer, tourism is another source of income. Because Leros has a very large natural port, many sailing boats and luxury yachts arrive here in the summer, giving the island an international and cosmopolitan flare. Leros has Marinas in Lakki and Partheni , both with capacities for hundreds of yachts. In Panteli and Vromolithos many yachts mooring for the night or for a couple of days. The island takes part in the Aegean regatta every summer. In Lakki there is a sailing school while in Xerokampos there is a diving school
