I'm not going to pretend this is an easy option. We left the port at 6.30 a.m. to make sure we could manage the steep uphill walk before it was too hot. You will need plenty of water. You walk for about an hour uphill and then there is the steep climb to the top of the mountain to see the castle. Views are spectacular and so worth the effort. Collapsed at the taverna on Pondamos beach on the way back for a well earned breakfast.

Just love the short climb up to the castle and to breath the fresh air here. The most spectacular views over the Aegean can e seen towards Symi. The small cafe has excellent Thyme honey on offer after the harvest and is one of the best honey's we have ever purchased.

This is totally undersold, an easy-ish climb from the parking (coffee shop nearby for after!) and the views were exceptional. You can walk around and into the small church at the top, and also light a candle (donations can be left there too). There is no entrance fee, but should be!

Largely rebuilt by the Italians this is a very beautiful building - lovely views from the windown and lots and lots of interesting stuff for history buffs - beautiful mosaic floors nicked from Kos. You do get a feel for how the palace was during the crusades.

This is a huge Castle, mostly in ruins, with absolutely fantastic views! Exploring all around the grounds was fun, but there wasn't many informational signs on the history. There are also several medieval, cave-like churches and the Ecclesiastical Museum at Our Lady of Kastro aka Historical Museum on Byzantine Art and Antiquities aka Antonelos Museum. There was an enthusiastic guide there who told us the entire history of the island, and many artifacts displayed. We were staying a week on Leros in September 2019 and I'm so glad I visited here! I took a taxi up for 10 Euro then walked down the stairs to Agia Marina where our Airbnb was.
