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 mental institution, and in summer tourism is
another source of income. Because Leros has a very large
natural port, many sailing boats and luxury yachts arrive
here in summer, giving the island an international flare.
