Home sweet home. Leros is our base island, and also one of our top favourites in all the Dodecanese. Tell your friends you’re sailing from Leros and they will almost certainly say "Where?" Good!! That’s how we want to keep it!

The island is around 20 miles long, 5 miles wide - the perfect size for a day’s scooter exploration! It’s picture-postcard Greece: the stark blue and white houses, garnished with the brilliant pinks and purples of bougainvillea. The little bays and beaches, traditional fishing villages: it’s everything one imagines that a Greek island should be. There is no "package tourism" ; visitors are still seen as guests, and the locals are still genuinely friendly and welcoming. Even better: as this has been our "home" for several years, we’re very much part of the local community, and the locals always give our SeaScape sailors an extra big welcome!

One person this applies to especially is our friend Tony, who owns the Ara Hotel on Leros. Not only is it a wonderful little spot, with exceptional views, great swimming pool, etc - Tony & his father Frank always look after our SeaScape sailors like family!
