Welcome to
Agios Isidoros, from the archive.
Welcome to
my island.
My name is Yiannis, and Leros is the island I call home. This website began as a way to share its photographs, stories, memories and legends with friends who wanted to keep a little of Leros with them.
Let me be your guide to its bays and villages, its history and traditions, and the hospitality around a family table. Explore at your own pace, find somewhere that speaks to you, and make a few memories of your own.
