We start at Lakki Primary School, near the impressive Tower House, and wander through the town’s once-busy commercial streets. Along the way, we’ll see the Church of Saint Nicholas, the elegant “palazzine,” the Municipal Market, the old Town Hall, and the historic Hotel Leros.
The walk continues through Roussos Square and on to PIKPA, a building with powerful history and striking architecture. We then head down Lychnari Street, pass the Port Authority building, and reach the former women’s military camp.
We end near the Queen Olga Monument, at the old Poseidonio warehouse. And if you’d like, we’ll wrap things up with a glass of local wine and a friendly chat.
Whether you’ve walked these streets before or are seeing them for the first time, this tour offers a fresh perspective on Lakki’s past and present.
