Drymonas Beach Leros

Drymonas Beach is a small and charming beach located on the western coast of Leros, south of Gourna. It features a shore of sand and pebbles with clear turquoise water that is a choice for those seeking a quiet and traditional swimming spot. The beach is unorganized but is located in a sparsely developed settlement with a few rooms to rent and a small taverna nearby. The surrounding area is rocky and features the 14th-century church of the Virgin Mary Gourlomata, which was built with materials from ancient ruins. The water is clean and the entry is easy for most swimmers. It is a destination for nature lovers who appreciate the simple beauty of the coast and the connection to the island's history. The atmosphere is relaxed and reflects the slow pace of life in the Dodecanese. You should bring your own water and food for the day. It is a part of the coast that offers a great view and a sense of total freedom from the crowds.
