The goddesses of antiquity, who were distinguished for their beauty, chose illustrious sites upon which to build their palaces. This is also what Artemis (Diana) did, the goddess of hunting.  She chose an extremely beautiful island lying in the blue waters of the Aegean, with vegetation, a lacy coastline, leeward bays, and kind-hearted people, and there set up her throne. She chose Leros. A truly divine choice.

The sea sculpted the coastline of Leros with lavish artistry, giving it lacy shores, sandy beaches, protected harbors, and a multitude of little islands all around it.

Nature there has been endowed with lush vegetation and a landscape of pleasant alterations.  History has played an important role on the island since ancient times.The people who have lived there have shown it respect, and have built monasteries, churches, and mansions in a unique architectural style.
