Leros - General Info
Description:
Leros is a green, wooded island, with rounded hills instead of the harsher landscape of some of the other islands in the group. It lies to the SE of Patmos and close to the north of Kalimnos (its sister island).
The harbor of Lakki is at the head of a deep bay in the southwestern part of the island and offers good shelter. Lakki is not a big town, about six streets wide by five streets long, with three butchers, two vegetable stands, a couple of restaurants and supermarkets, some shoreside cafes, and a few other shops.
Leros is a port of entry from May until October only.
There are two boatyards on the island with good facilities, ample hard standing and repair services. With ferries to Piraeus and Rhodes and direct flights to Athens, this is a possible option for wintering your boat in Greece.
Position:
37° 06.63’N, 26° 49.65’E (approach to Lakki)

Agmar Marina Partheni Boatyard.
On the hard winterizing good and cheap (about 2.5k Euros for 7 months for 46ft sailboat), compared with other solutions in this part of Med.
Very professional maintenance & refitting capability, all sectors, even if not cheap at all, sometimes ridiculously exaggerate. Anyhow good output, even if at a price. Attilio Siviero, Sisila ketch

Xirokampos: There are three places to eat ashore, two along the beachfront and one inland. There are no grocery stores, mini stores, or bread stores within the town so come prepared.
Each of the two beachfront restaurants have laid colored moorings. It appears that if you use their mooring, they expect you to eat at their restaurant probably at least once every two day-stay.
It appears to us that the restaurant on the east side is more reasonably priced than the restaurant on the west side, which has more upscale beach furnishings and a shower on the beach to rinse off.

Port Police monitors Ch12 but was never able to get them to answer. Lakki uses lazy lines which they give to you after mooring because they have no helper boat. IF NECESSARY, one can drop your anchor seaside of a yellow buoy they have placed.
They do not give you this option unless you ask. Wall anchorage was full. The big empty space around the sole shore power pod is reserved for Greek Coast Guard. Marked, but hard to see from the sea.
Orange mooring buoy is in water in line with the pod. Other boats anchor in the basin between Lakki and Leros marina, and seaside of the commercial dock.
At Lakki, water was 8€ a ton and 10€ for 16 Kw (2016). Lakki recently renovated the office and the bathrooms (2015) but the floating pontoons their published plan wrote about are not installed.
