About the Beach

Merikia Beach is a small and peaceful beach located within the broad natural bay of Lakki on Leros. It features a shore of sand and pebbles with clear blue water that is usually very calm. The beach is unorganized and retains a quiet, natural character, reflecting the tranquil atmosphere of the island. It is a destination for those who want a simple and relaxed swim away from the busier resort areas. The surrounding landscape is low and green, providing a soft frame to the sea. The water is clean and the entry is easy for most swimmers. A unique feature nearby is the Leros War Museum, which is housed in an old tunnel. It is a spot for nature lovers who appreciate the connection between the sea and the history of the island. You should bring your own supplies for the day. The atmosphere is local and friendly, showing the daily life of the Leros residents who visit this sheltered corner of the coast.
