St. Isidorus monastery
St. Isidorus Church in Leros is a top attraction steeped in mystery and legend. Built in the 14th century, this small church stands in the middle of Gourna Bay, connected to the land by a narrow strip of concrete and rocks. It was constructed upon ancient ruins, adding to its historical allure. The church’s icon, caught by a poor fisherman in his nets, granted him a wish to restore his missing hand. In gratitude, the fisherman built the church in the sea. Today, St. Isidorus is celebrated as one of Greece’s most beautiful churches, offering stunning sunsets and serving as an intimate venue for weddings and baptisms.
Leros Windmills

Panagia Kavouradaina (Virgin Mary Kavouradaina)
Even though Leros is connected with several legends that link the religion with the sea, Panagia Kavouradaina remains one of the greatest stories-legends of the island. In both versions of the legend, the icon of the Virgin Mary, who is painted within a large crab (hence the name Kavouradaina: Virgin Mary of the crabs), was “rescued” by fishermen, and at the point of the discovery of the icon, the small stone-built church was erected. The utilitarian inside of the church, in which an adult can barely fit, is built literally within the rocks, thus making one of the most picturesque chapels of Leros, as well as a true treasure and reminder of the connection between the island and the sea.
Virgin Mary of the Castle (Panayia tou Kastrou)
Leros has a very long history and a presence that dates back several centuries. A true relic from the Middle Ages, from the troubled byzantine period of war on icon, also referred to as iconoclasm, the Virgin Mary of the Castle carries a history longer than the history of some nations. Being that as it may, the only thing surpassing the spectacular view of the monastery is the number of miracles connected to it. After all, legend has it that the Virgin Mary was painted by the evangelist St. Loukas himself
