Leros Guide

The Greek island of Leros is one of the Dodecanese islands that are located in the Aegean Sea, and is around 200 km from the port of Piraeus. Leros is close to the neighbouring islands of Patmos, Lipsi, Kalymnos, Agia Kyriaki and Farmakos. The small island, measuring around 74 sq. km, has a population of just under 8,000 residents, which doubles during the summer in order to cater for visiting tourists. The beaches of Partheni and Blefouti in the north of the island are popular with tourists, as are the beaches of Gourna, Kokali and Ayia Isidoros on the west side of the island and the large bay of Alinda in the central eastern part of the island. The bay of Alinda is also home to Pangias and Crithoni beaches. The picturesque port of Agia Marina lies to the south east of the bay of Alinda, which is around a 10 minute walk to Platanos, the heart of the island.

The journey time from Piraeus to the island by ferry is around 11 hours. Leros also has also daily connections by conventional ferry and hydrofoil to most of the Greek islands of Dodecanese like Patmos, Lipsi, Samos, Kos, Rhodes, Symi and Nisyros. There are also weekly connection to some of the islands of the Cyclades like Syros and Amorgos.

Panormitis Guide

The Greek island of Symi is one of the Dodecanese group of islands and lies to the north of the Greek island of Rhodes and is close to the coast of south western Turkey. The island does not have many beaches and those that it does have tend to be mostly shingle with larger stones under the water and have few facilities and offer little shade. However it is known for its peace and tranquillity although visitors should note that summer temperatures can reach 40°C or more in July and August and makes the shelter of the port a hive of activity.

A popular attraction on the island is the Monastery of Panormitis that is located on a bay that shares its name. Many people visit the monastery from around the country on its celebration day, the 8th November, where pilgrims to the monastery are offered food, wine and free accommodation. Many believe that the monastery was built on the site of an ancient temple but ancient archaeological findings have not been found to back this up although the existence of the monastery dating back to the 15th century has been proved by a manuscript that dates back to 1460.

Symi is a popular destination for day trippers as there are regular daily ferry services operating from the Rhodes port of Mandraki.
