The most capital of Leros is Agia Marina - united with the two other villages. Platanos and Panteli, on the back side of the hill - a collection of little white houses, neoclassical buildings and narrow alleyways It starts at the seaside and gradually climbs up the sides of the hill, whose summit is dominated by the remains of a Byzantine castle of special significance during Byzantine times donated to bishop Christodoulos of Patmos from the Emperor Alexios Komninos, its shape is that given it by the Knights of St John, who arrived in Leros in the 14th century Still standing today are the circuit wall and the church of Our Lady within it .Laki, 3 kilometres south of Agia Marina is the islands port. It is built at the back of a deep, practically enclosed bay, whose mouth is only 500 metres wide This is one of the largest and best natural harbours in the Mediterranean sea.
