Leros is unspoilt and off the beaten track - but it's possible to get to us by direct local ferry from Bodrum, Turgutreis, and Didim in the summer. There's more options for all these ferries if you change ferries at Kos - and if you are prepared to change at Kos you can come from Marmaris too.
ATHENS
Once you're in Athens you can either fly to Leros on a domestic service, or get the ferry.
Domestic flights from Athens to Leros
Leros has a small airport that is served by Olympic air with a daily 50 minute flight from Athens (or twice a day in high season). The flights typically leave at around 9:30am and 12:30pm - so it's likely that if you want to come this way you'll have to spend a night in Athens. We can recommend hotels if you'd like us to.
The ferry from Piraeus to Leros
The ferry to Leros from Piraeus usually runs 3 times a week - Mondays, Wednesdays and either Fridays or Saturdays. It usually sails at about 7:00pm and arrives at about 4:35am. So, you can usually make the transfer from the airport to the ferry in one day (and spend the night on the ferry).
It's worth checking the schedules as they do change - you can do that on the Greek Travel Pages.
RHODES
From Rhodes you can either get a ferry to Leros or a domestic flight.
THE FERRY FROM RHODES TO LEROS
There's a daily morning ferry in the summer to Leros at 8:30am, and an evening ferry to Leros at 5pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. This means Rhodes is a great route to get to us in a day.
Again, it's always worth checking the ferry schedules on the Greek Travel Pages as they do change.
DOMESTIC FLIGHT FROM rhodeS TO LEROS
Sky Express fly from Rhodes to Leros in the summer several times a week.

There's a daily ferry in the morning at about 11:00am, as well as some evening services at around 8:30pm (which match up to flights well meaning you can get to us in a day). If you choose to stay in Kos we can recommend hotels by the port.
Again, it's always worth checking the ferry schedules on the Greek Travel Pages.
The ferry services are operated by Dodekanisos Seaways and Blue Star Ferries.
SPEEDBOAT CHARTER FROM KOS TO LEROS
Alternatively, you can always charter a speedboat to take you from Kos to Leros (or vice versa). It costs around €300 each way and can take 5-6 people in about an hour. It also can pick you up from Masticharia - which is only 10 minutes from Kos airport - and we can book it to match up with your flights so that there's no waiting around. Just get in touch if you'd like to book.

From the airport the standard fare is around €13 - and it's only 15 minutes to Asterias. From the port it's a 10 minute drive and the fair is about €12.
We'll be ready to welcome you whatever time you arrive - then your holiday begins.
