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.

Tuesday 16th July and we visited this small Church which is situated by the sea on the South East coast of the Island outside the town of Xirokampos. We had to descend about 25 long steep steps to get to the Church. As we opened the door it was amazing to see how it had been carved into the rock. At the back of the Church is a very small altar with 2 crosses with icons and religious images nearby and on the walls. There are some stunning coastal views from the grounds of the Chuch. The road ends, where the Chuch is, and turns into a dirt track. It is possible to walk here from Xirokampos, it is a bit of a walk, from anywhere else transport is required. It is so worth a visit to this wonderful place.
