Latest reviews on Leros island's beaches

Alea Mare beach
8 Larissa Flamara

This hotel is situated right on a small beach and is absolutely lovely. The staff, especially the receptionist, were incredibly helpful and made us feel very relaxed during our stay. The rooms and common areas were spotlessly clean. The only downside was the bathroom, which could use some attention. Despite this, we would definitely come back if given the opportunity and would happily recommend this hotel to our friends. Thank you.

When visiting Greece, you can't help but be surrounded by beauty everywhere you look. One of the best ways to truly experience Greece is by both enjoying the land and exploring the sea. The Hydrovius Diving center provided me with the opportunity to improve my diving skills, have a great time, and discover the history and wonders that lie beneath the Mediterranean sea. I am grateful to Kosta, Tasos, and Annie for their hard work in ensuring the safety, quality, and enjoyment of all divers, as well as for capturing incredible pictures that I can cherish as memories forever.
