Greece, located in southeastern Europe, is considered the cradle of Western civilization, having been the birthplace of the many pillars of civilization: from democracy to philosophy. This, in fact, one of many reasons why I always love visiting Greece. Pure indescribable beauty, be it secret beaches far from the madding crowds, hidden bays that are demanding to reach yet rewarding in their experience, charming island villages awash in light, ancient traditions, authentic and unsullied flavors.

There is a number of Greek Islands that you probably find on every top 10 list, but I think Leros, a relatively isolated island of Dodecanese, won’t never be one of them. In Leros you will find a special architecture that have been influenced by the Cycladic but also by Italian and Alexandrian. Lakki, the capital of the island was designed by Italians. Leros offers hiking activities with very beautiful paths. One of the most beautiful trails are from the Merikia’s museum tunnel to Katsouni and the Lighthouse. For those that summer holidays are combined mainly with lying on beaches, well Leros has some beautiful beaches too! The beach Vromolithos just before the Panteli is a classic choice, like Alinta and Dio Liskaria. On the west coast, you have to visit the bay of Gourna where you will find a sandy beach with trees and tavern, an absolute typical Greek picture. Once you get up there, don’t forget to visit the picturesque church of St. Isidoros, which is built on a reef in the sea.
