A half-day hike and outdoors experience
Sunset-Spray Walk is a hike of joy through the wilder parts of Leros. If you are keen on having a unique experience in the natural environment of the island and combine an evening swim from a coastal plateau of rocks with delicious local treats in a breathtaking sunset location, this is the thing you should book, while on Leros. They offer the hike to small groups of three to four people.
The hike
You will meet at the reception of Hotel Marilen in the afternoon and drive to the spot where the hike begins. You will walk for approximately 1 hour down fields and rocks (no climbing, but you need proper shoes, no flip-flops!) and arrive at a remote coastal landscape, facing west. Take a few steps back and let the sun elegantly descend into the sea in front of your eyes.
Into the Night
They will “set the table” for you and leave you to enjoy the treats and wine on your own, in the scenic natural environment. Don’t get drunk! You will walk back to the cars under a starry night sky. The hike back takes approx. 45 minutes.
Framing the Experience
In addition to any photos that you might take, they will initiate a short creative session, during which you will jointly create a unique photograph as souvenir of your hike. If you wish to, this photograph can be later delivered in printed format.
In the Mood for Mindfulness
The tour offers a range of exciting panoramas. Arriving at one of them, a short mindfulness session will take place, during which you will leave behind the tension of the hike and slowly relax gently into the scenery.

Cooking Class - YEMISTA (Stuffed Pepper & Tomato)
2025-08-18 17:45 - 21:00 | The Leros Way Hub, The Leros Way Hub, Leros, 85400, Greece
If you’re looking for a hands-on, truly local experience while you’re on Leros, this one’s for you.
Join us for a special summer cooking workshop dedicated to one of Greece’s most beloved and comforting dishes — YEMISTA (stuffed tomatoes and peppers)!
Learn how to prepare this traditional recipe the Leros way, using fresh local ingredients, fragrant herbs, and a whole lot of love. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just curious to try something new, this is your chance to dive into Greek island cooking in the most authentic way.
Local kitchen, good company, and the smell of summer in the air. Come hungry and leave with new skills — and a full heart!
We’ll welcome you into a beautiful old Greek house hidden in the forest, just outside Lakki — the kind of home where recipes live in people’s hands, not cookbooks. And we’ll be cooking the traditional way: with care, with company, and in a wood-fired oven that gives everything a special kind of flavor.
We cook together. We eat together.
You’ll learn how to prepare Gemista — the classic Greek dish of stuffed tomatoes and peppers — just like the locals do.
Using fragrant rice, fresh herbs, and seasonal vegetables straight from the island, you’ll stuff your own tomatoes and peppers by hand, ready to be slow-cooked the traditional way.
When the oven has done its magic, we’ll gather under the old big tree and enjoy the feast: your handmade Gemista, crisp Greek salad, creamy yogurt, and plenty of chilled local wine.
Add a few good stories and a few new friends, and you’ve got yourself a proper Greek evening — the Leros way.
What’s included:

Full meal (stuffed pepper and tomatoes, Greek salad, yogurt or lemon sauce)
Wine, water, and good company
Recipe to take home
Pickup and drop-off from The Leros Way Hub

Languages: English & Greek
What to bring: Comfy shoes and mosquito spray
Where: Just 5 minutes from Lakki (meet at the Hub 15 minutes before the start)
