Leros holidays
Tranquil, picturesque Leros forms part of the Dodecanese Islands, and floats in the Aegean close to Kos. Known for its crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches and peaceful atmosphere, it’s the ultimate pick for a relaxing, go-slow summer holiday. Get lost in charming villages like Panteli and Alinda, where narrow streets are dotted with authentic, whitewashed houses. The island’s rich in history too, with impressive sites like the medieval Castle of Leros and the War Museum to explore. If you fancy a break from sunbathing on the golden sand, you could try hiking through the lush hills or water sports in secluded coves. Leros is just a ferry-hop away from Kos – what are you waiting for?Popular holiday resorts in Leros

Get away from it all
Want a go-slow getaway in an off-the-beaten-track spot? You’ve come to the right place here in Leros. It remains largely undiscovered and unspoilt, and it’s much quieter than some of its island neighbours. This means you’ll get to enjoy a more authentic Greek experience too!
Island-hop!
Due to its ideal location floating in the glistening Aegean Sea, it’s easy to set sail and explore the nearby Dodecanese Islands. Join a boat trip and head out for the day or hire one for yourself and cruise at your own pace. We’re talking the likes of Kalymnos, Kos and Nisyros, all on your doorstep.
Made for walking and cycling
As the flattest of all the Dodecanese islands, Leros boasts ideal terrain for getting out and about on foot or two wheels. Well-marked routes take you along sea-view paths, past churches and mountains, and natural beauty spots. Why not stop off at the beach for a dip to cool down?
Beaches
You can’t beat Greece’s beaches and on Leros, they’re simply stunning. Expect sandy shores and crystal-clear waters across Alinda, Panteli and Krithoni. The island’s coves offer peaceful settings for sunbathing and the rugged landscape makes for the perfect backdrop. How about a spot of swimming or snorkelling? See all beaches (4)
