Leros is Eros is how we call it, those who have spent and continue to spend each summer on the island! Leros is located in the north Dodecanese near Kalymnos and Patmos.

Wandering at the narrow streets of the old town of Rhodes is filled with magic. You feel that you are wandering in the history of this place, when the knights used to live.

When the gods chased the giants in the sea area adjacent to Kos, Neptune obtained a piece of Kos and threw it on the giant Polybotis. So they say that every time the volcano rumbles, the giant Polyvotis roars...
"Cantouni" beach is not just my favorite place in Kalymnos, but the place where whole generations of Kalymnian have spent their most beautiful and carefree times, playing with the waves or just looking at the beautiful sunset. The night clubs in the area is the place to meet and have fun, promising...
