Platanos in Leros |
Platanos, the capital of Leros, lies between Agia Marina and Panteli. The villages are joined together, it is difficult to see where one begins and the other ends. Platanos is a living Greek village with brightly coloured neoclassical houses, fine churches and a nice square with tavernas. From Platanos you can hike or drive up to the Castle of Panteli.

Agia Paraskevi church in Platanos.
I can't decide if the church looks sad or surprised.
ACCOMMODATION IN PLATANOSIf I were to live in Platanos, I would have chosen Asterias
without hesitation, which looks absolutely fantastic. Friends of mine
have stayed there several times and they really recommend Asterias. Book Asterias here » |
