Spoiler alert: this is not your run-of-the-mill museum. If you expect the typical, grand building, filled with field guns, tanks, and machine guns, that impresses with stature yet fails to inspire fragments of the actual wartime experience, you will be disappointed. Yet again, if you value experience, atmosphere, and the eerie feeling of the common soldier hidden beneath the earth, then this is the place for you. Located in Italian catacombs beneath the surface of the earth, left there ever since the occupation of the island, the War Museum of Leros is a small testament to what war museums should really feel like, transferring the out worldly vibes of wartime to the visitors. There, one can find weapons that are unearthed and gifted by the locals, medical supplies, medals of honor, equipment, and, generally speaking, a fragment of a dark story that must never be forgotten…
