Leros is one of those places that can play the role of history narrator by itself. Over the years, the island has preserved historical treasures, “resting” in the clear waters of the Aegean. It may sound as a contradiction in terms to admire the remains of war and its catastrophic consequences, but when the wounds of the losses begin to heal, it can help us remember and honor them who ‘wrote’ that history. At Leros, the sea has protected these memorabilia and a wealth of findings is waiting to be discovered.
Dive with a dive guide to the impressive wrecks of the Battle of Leros, that rest for over 70 years in the clear blue water of the Aegean Sea.
Wrecks of planes and boats that participated in the Battle of Leros in 1943 form an intriguing underwater “museum”, as silent martyrs of the German determination to conquer Leros by all means.
The wrecks are located around the island in depths from 16m until 50m.
Recent scientific research from the department of oceanology of the University of Patras, demonstrate the natural wealth of the seabed and add another reason to dive in the clear waters of the island. There are valuable ecosystems to be found with rare underwater vegetation.
