Explore Agia Marina, the heart of Leros
The coastal town of Agia Marina has over the years become one with Platanos, effectively becoming the largest settlement on Leros. Walking its cobblestoned streets will become part of your daily routine, whether you’re grabbing a morning coffee, an afternoon sweet or a nightcap. It is famous for its neoclassical mansions with Egyptian influences, traditional houses, bougainvillea-filled courtyards, earth tones and the show-stopping white windows that serve to underline Leros’ architectural wealth. As you stroll the streets, you’ll encounter the Archaeological Museum, where you can learn about Leros’ history. And don’t think twice about booking a boat trip on the Agios Georgios, a wooden fishing boat in Agia Marina harbour that takes you on an adventure to the neighbouring island of Lipsi and other wonderful islets with names like Aspronisia, Marathi and Arki.
Local tip: For a great souvlaki, head to Yparcho grill house in Roussos Square in Platanos and for charcoal-grilled gyros in Agia Marina go to Kroupia (vegan gyros options are also available). Mylos (also in Agia Marina) is another great recommendation, right outside a windmill overlooking the sea (the best real estate on the island?). It attracts visitors from all over for its top-notch food and extensive wine list. Try the skewered grouper, raw fish and eggplant ravioli with seabass and shiitake mushrooms, as well as the taramasalata (fish roe dip).
