Alinda lies about 2 kilometres from Agia Marina. To walk to Alinda
along the coat is very pleasant. Along the way you pass some beaches,
large and small. The most popular one is located in the small settlement
of Krithoni. Leros War
Cemetery lies just before Alinda.
Alinda is the largest and the most popular tourist resort on Leros.
The major attraction is the long pea-gravel beach. The beach is narrow
and extends along the beautiful bay. Tamarisk trees grows along most of
the shore and gives a much needed shade. This is a beach to my taste,
especially because of the wonderful views of Agia
Marina and Platanos, and there
is plenty of space, except during high season when Alinda is invaded by
vacationing Greeks.
A small marina with wooden jetties lies where the beach ends.
Here lies Taverna To Steki. One year we chose to stay in Alinda
instead of in Panteli. We stayed there for one week and ate at To Steki
every night. On each occasion we were surprised that the food tasted better
than the night before. Moreover, we found dishes on the menu that we had
never eaten in Greece. The owner is super friendly, as well as the staff.
A few nights a week there is live music and dancing at the taverna.
