The island of Leros is located in the north Dodecanese, few miles south from Patmos island. Leros is separated also southley by an almost narrow sea passage to Kalymnos island.
Geographically the island is characterized by small hills and countless bay areas. The most great is Lucky Bay which is the largest natural harbor in the eastern waters of Mediterranean sea.
Having this in mind, the Italians in 1932 created there, their main naval port in the Dodecanese.
