Consigli per viaggiatori
Muoversi in zona
The best way to move around Leros is by car.
If you don't have a car you can easily rent one or you can use the taxi. There is also a public bus but it's not recommended as it doesn't have a reliable schedule. You can also rent an e-bike to have a tour in some areas but the distances are quite long to only use a bike.
Cosa portare
The water is not drinkable thus you will need bottle water
Be sure to always have a stuck of bottled waters as it is not possible to drink tap water.
