Leros Airport (LRS/LGLE) is a small domestic airport on Leros Island in Greece’s Dodecanese, serving the island’s main towns and port. It has a single short runway and a compact terminal, with flights primarily linking Leros to Athens and other Greek islands, especially in summer. Its location a short drive from Agia Marina, Platanos, and Lakki makes it a convenient but weather-sensitive gateway to Leros.
💡 Local Tip
Ask for a right-side window seat on departure to Athens for the best aerial views of Leros and nearby islets—and build in a buffer before any ferry connection, since meltemi winds can cause delays.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis usually meet arriving flights, but it is wise to pre-book if you arrive late or in peak summer. Rental cars can be arranged at or near the airport, and driving to Agia Marina, Platanos, or Lakki takes about 10–20 minutes. If you are connecting to a ferry, allow extra time because flights can be delayed by wind or weather.
