Vasilis Siafakas

An avid fan of history, food, sport shooting, and of good people, I arrived in Leros last September, and ever since, I have been learning all the more about the secrets of Leros, the things you will never see as a tourist, but you have to know if you live permanently here. The food, the sea, the history, the weather, and, most importantly, the people all captivated me. Having traveled quite a bit over the last few years and packing with me only as much as my small car can fit, I now see things from different perspectives than I used to.

Writing as a guest and mostly by hobby, I will be sharing with you all the little and greater things I have found out around here, all the things that make Leros great. I will be sharing with you what makes “the Leros” way great…
