The Greek island of Leros is one of the Dodecanese islands that are located in the Aegean Sea, and is around 200 km from the port of Piraeus. Leros is close to the neighbouring islands of Patmos, Lipsi, Kalymnos, Agia Kyriaki and Farmakos. The small island, measuring around 74 sq. km, has a population of just under 8,000 residents, which doubles during the summer in order to cater for visiting tourists. The beaches of Partheni and Blefouti in the north of the island are popular with tourists, as are the beaches of Gourna, Kokali and Ayia Isidoros on the west side of the island and the large bay of Alinda in the central eastern part of the island. The bay of Alinda is also home to Pangias and Crithoni beaches. The picturesque port of Agia Marina lies to the south east of the bay of Alinda, which is around a 10 minute walk to Platanos, the heart of the island.
The journey time from Piraeus to the island by ferry is around 11 hours. Leros also has also daily connections by conventional ferry and hydrofoil to most of the Greek islands of Dodecanese like Patmos, Lipsi, Samos, Kos, Rhodes, Symi and Nisyros. There are also weekly connection to some of the islands of the Cyclades like Syros and Amorgos.
The Turkish city of Bodrum is located in Mugla Province, on the south coast of the Bodrum Peninsular at the point that checks entry into the Gulf of Gokova. In ancient times the city was known as Halicarnassus and has many ancient sites that have been abandoned by the Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans. Popular attractions in the city include the Tomb of King Mausolus which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and was built in under 100 years. The Tomb is now a popular open air museum. Visitors to the city also enjoy spending time exploring the region's lovely coast and beautiful bays. Visitors to Bodrum during October or November should visit Bargilya which is not far from Bodrum and is where you will see all the inhabitants harvesting olives. It is a different world with its lagoon and adorable fish restaurants.
From the city's port, ferries operate to other destinations in Turkey, to the Greek mainland and the Greek islands.
